• If the ambient light consists of sodium-vapor lamps or mercury-vapor lamps alone, an accurate white
balance cannot be acquired due to the properties of the light source. Use of the flash is recommended to
overpower the ambient light.
You can set the white balance using a color temperature.
Based on using the set color temperature as the standard, the color can be compensated from G
(Green) to M (Magenta) just like using a CC (Color Compensation) filter for photography.
• When setting the color temperature measured by the color meter, test shooting is recommended before the
actual photo is taken.
