I’m using an A7c. My question is about light source temp and FS Kelvin. The different FS’ have unique temps. For example, Vektro 100 is 4000 Kelvin and Senova Light is 8000 Kelvin. So if my environment light source is 3500, does that mean I shouldn’t use Senova? Or do I simply choose the FS and change my WB Kelvin to 3500?
I’ve been playing with the different FS’ ands I think I’ve stumbled onto a good workflow. IInstead of using the Kelvin WB, I use the custom WB settings. This allows me to match the light source temperature. I carry a neutral card, so I choose a custom WB and match the light source. I’ve already saved the color filter to so three custom WB settings, so it just takes moments to set my temp.
Hope that makes sense.
So then, am I using the FS as intended?
OK... so then let's say I'm using Vectro 100, which is 4000 Kelvin. Since the best light meter I have is the custom WB, I'd use that to determine the temp of my light source. So let's say the source is 3500; I'd subtract that from 5500 to get 2000. Then I'd reduce the Kelvin WB from 4000 to 2000. And that should get me close enough for my eyes to take me the rest of the way. Thank you.
