5-1 Measurement Method
5-1-1 Balancing Color Temperatures of Light Sources
When multiple light sources are being used,
the color temperature of each light source must
be measured separately. If light sources with
different color temperatures are used together
in the same image, inconsistent color will be
present in the shadows and highlights.
Take a measurement by facing the Light
Receptor
❶
towards the light source to
correctly measure the color temperature of the
light source.
NOTICE
●
To get accurate color from a light source, make sure not to get bounced or
reected light from a colored surface, or another light.
●
Damage and dirt on the Light Receptor
❶
can affect the precision of the
measurment. If the Light Receptor
❶
becomes dirty, wipe it with a dry, soft cloth.
Never use organic solvents such as thinner or benzene.
●
Be courteous to those around you that may be sensitive to ash, or bright light,
please give them notice before taking a measurement.
