A Studio Flash Lighting
Auto white balance may not produce the desired results with large studio
flash units.
Choose a color temperature, use preset white balance, or set
white balance to [Flash] and use fine tuning to adjust white balance.
A Color Temperature
The perceived color of a light source varies with the viewer and other
conditions.
Color temperature is an objective measure of the color of a
light source, defined with reference to the temperature to which an object
would have to be heated to radiate light in the same wavelengths.
While
light sources with a color temperature in the neighborhood of 5,000–
5,500K appear white, light sources with a lower color temperature, such as
incandescent light bulbs, appear slightly yellow or red.
Light sources with
a higher color temperature appear tinged with blue.

When [WB bracketing] is selected for Custom Setting e4 ([Auto bracketing
set], pg. 328), the camera will create several images each time the shutter
is released.
White balance will be varied with each image, “bracketing”
the value currently selected for white balance.
