Color Temperature and White Balance
Adjustment
Every light source has its own color temperature measured in
Kelvin (K). The higher the Kelvin value, the more bluish the
light; the lower the value, the more reddish the light. The Kelvin
value is related to the tint of the light, but not directly to its
brightness.
