For example, moving the cursor to B(blue) when a "warm" setting such as .. (incandescent) is selected for white balance will makephotographs slightly "colder" but will not actually make them blue.B "Mired"Any given change in color temperature produces a greater difference in color at low colortemperatures than it would at higher color temperatures. For example, a change of 1,000 K producesa much greater change in color at 3,000 K than at 6,000 K. Mired, calculated by multiplying theinverse of the color temperature by 106, is a measure of color temperature that takes such variationinto account, and as such is the unit used in color-temperature compensation filters. E.g.:.4,000 K-3,000 K (a difference of 1,000 K)=83 mired• 7,000 K-6,000 K (a difference of 1,000 K)=24 miredPreset ManualPreset manual can be used when the desired results cannot be achieved at other settingsor to match white balance manually to the value used in an existing photograph.
