If you dont have a grey card get a white sheet of paper and do a manual white balance.
1000 watts continous only means it consumes 1000 watts of power and its not a strobe it stays on. This wont tell me anything about what kind of lamp it is but doesn sorta say which it could be 3 or do of the top. |

All incandescent lamps (lamps with glowing filaments) are basically tungsten, but they have a wide variety of "color temperatures." The tungsten lamps that are referred to in the tungsten WB setting are household incandescent lamps (regular, non-halogen light bulbs). They have a yellower cast than "halogen" bulbs. Even halogen bulbs vary quite a bit in color temperature.
If you want accurate WB, use a white or gray card to set a custom WB. |
