    5600 Kin enough for a Z1?

    Posted by Antonio Atzei on September 3, 2008 at 9:46 pm

    Hi COWS!
    I just had a meeting with the official photographer of the event I’ll be shooting (fashion show party/catwalk) and he mentioned the light as an issue on the all evening. We may not have the minumum ideal 5600 kelvin ideal to show true or acceptable colors, so I was told. Where do I stand with the Z1 with at least 50 fps?
    ciao

    5600K refers to the colour temperature of the light. 5600K is about daylight colour temperature. If your fashion show is indoors and you are lighting with studio lamps it will probably be about 3200K. These figures have nothing to do with the amount of light. Your camera will white balance to either setting.
    Tell the stills guy who is no doubtably using a digital camera to do the same.(Or shoot RAW and fix it in Photoshop)
