* Fluorescent white balance can be fine-tuned to accommodate a wide variety of artificial
lighting, from stadium lighting with low color temperatures to mercury-vapor lighting
with high color temperatures. Users of the D1 should note that the color temperatures
that result when fluorescent white-balance is fine tuned differ widely from the values
used in the D1 .
