Color Temperature

The color of light shifts towards blue as the color temperature rises,
and towards red 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.
