Understanding Color Temperature
Different "Pure white" light sources do not always have
the same color. For instance, light from an incandescent
bulb is much more yellowish than light from direct sun-
light. "Color Temperature" is a way of measuring these
color differences. In general higher color temperature num-
bers are more bluish or "cooler". You may have a reason for
wanting your unit to be a specific color temperature. For
instance, if you are using your Bobcat X in a television stu-
dio where you will be videotaping the content, you will
want a low color temperature. The default color tempera-
ture for the Bobcat X is 8500k. This is the native color tem-
perature of the LCD panel. You may choose a different
color temperature by setting it in the Color Balance menu.
