SUPPLEMENTAL

INFORMATION

What

is

“colour

temperature’?

Light

is

composed

of

various

colour

components

in

different

proportions.

A

relationship

exists

between

the

temperature

of

a

light

source

and

the

colour

components

of

the

emitted

light;

as

the

temperature

rises,

the

colour

of

the

light

varies

from

red,

orange,

yellow,

white

to

blue

in

that

order.

‘Colour

temperature”

is

a

value

that

expresses

differences

in

colour

among

light

sources,

measured

in

Kelvin

degrees.

Bluish

light

has

a

higher

colour

temperature

than

red-

dish

light.

What

is

“white

balance’’?

Making

the

colours

look

natural

on

TV

is

what

white

balance

is

all

about.

Because

a

camera

is

not

as

adaptable

as

the

human

eye,

if

a

light

source

is

reddish,

white

subjects

in

that

light

are

recorded

as

reddish.

White

balance

adjustment

is

performed

to

compensate

for

colour

tem-

perature

variations

of

light

so

that

whites

are

reproduced

as

white.

Correct

white

balance

makes

all

other

colours

correct.

The

GR-65E

can

perform

automatic

white

balance

adjust-

ment

in

the

full-auto

mode.

However,

if

illumi-

nation

is

insufficient,

white

balance

adjustment

cannot

be

performed.

To

obtain

correct

colours,

therefore,

sufficient

i!lumination

is

essential.

What

is

“illuminance”?

“Iltuminance’'

(also

called

’'luminance’’)

is

the

intensity

or

brightness

of

light,

expressed

in

lux.

The

GR-65E

is

designed

to

provide

best

pictures

under

the

conditions

of

a

700-lux

illuminance,

although

shooting

is

possible

all

the

way

down

to

10

lux.

To

obtain

good

pictures

in

very

bright

fight,

the

use

of

an

ND

{neutral

density)

filter

is

recommended.

(See

chart

on

this

page.)

How

to

get

good

colour

pictures

The

simplest

way

is

to

provide

sufficient

light-

ing

(close

to

the

camera’s

reference

illuminance}

and

accurately

adjust

the

camera

to

the

colour

temperature

of

that

lighting.

If

light

sources

of

different

colour

temperatures

are

used

together,

accurate

white

balance

adjustment

is

very

dif-

ficult.

For

example,

if

natural

light

is

mixed

with

artificial

light,

which

is

likely

to-

occur

windows,

correct

colours

of

the

subject

are

difficult

to

obtain.

It

is

recommended

in

such

cases

that

curtains

in

the

room

be

closed

to

shut

out

light

from

outside.

Also,

when

artificial

lighting

devices

are

used,

they

should

all

have

the

same

colour

temperature.

For

ex-

ample,

it

is

recommended

that

incandescent

or

halogen

jamps

not

be

used

together

with

fluores-

cent

lighting.
