Balancing Color Temperatures of Light Sources

When multiple light sources are being used,
the color temperature of each light source must
be measured separately. If light sources with
different color temperatures are used together
in the same image, inconsistent color will be
present in the shadows and highlights.
Take a measurement by facing the Light
Receptor towards the light source to
1
correctly measure the color temperature of the
light source.

NOTICE
● It is always important to get the true color of the main light source. Then any
influence from light reflected off of colored surfaces onto the subject will look as
they do when observed by eye.
●
hen measuring the light source, be careful not to measure the light reflected off
from ceiling, wall or floor because precision of measurements may be affected.
● Because it may affect the precision of the measurements, be careful not to
damage or dirty the white surface of the Light Receptor
becomes dirty, wipe it with a dry and soft cloth. ever use organic solvents such
as thinner or ben ene.
● There may be those who are sensitive to flash or other strong lights
(photosensitivity), and they may be negatively affected by light. Therefore, be
careful when people are nearby during measurement.
