Color temperature

The color of light shifts to a bluish color as the color temperature rises, and
to a reddish color as the color temperature falls. Color temperature
describes this change in light color in terms of absolute temperature (K:
Kelvin). This camera is capable of setting the white balance to enable
taking pictures with natural coloring under a variety of lighting conditions.
