Color Filter - Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT Instruction Manual

o Color Filter
When the color temperature of the Speedlite and the color temperature
of the light illuminating the subject are different, unnatural colors may
result for the subject background where the flash does not reach.
By using a supplied color filter suitable for the color temperature of the
illuminating light while firing the flash, you can shoot the subject and
background colors with an appropriate white balance. You can also use
commercially-available color filters.
