uously measures the color temperature of the light source and automatically adjusts the
white balance. Manual fine adjustment is also enabled after automatic white balance set-
ting. (☞ page 36)
The adjustment of the color temperature ranges from approx. 2 700 K to 6 000 K. If the sit-
uation meets one of the following or other, color may not be accurately reproduced.
