The color temperature switch on the left-front side of the camera can also be used to vary the
color temperature continuously between its minimum and maximum value (2500 K to
20000 K).
1. Hold the switch continuously in the up or down position until you see the value in the
viewfinder change.
2. Release the switch when you reach the value you want. This exits the value selection
mode.
3. Using the switch momentarily again sets the color temperature to the nearest standard
value.
