I shoot with a Canon 5D MK II in RAW format and in AdobeRGB color space. I have my Einsteins set for daylight, 5600K. I apologize in advance if my questions seem, well.clueless :lol: This is my first post and I freely admit I may ask questions that sound like I dont have much experience with strobes.that would be a correct assumption. For best results do a custom white balance for each lighting condition you are in. Filters and camera profiles will compound the problem, as will the white balance target you are using.īottom line, in actual shooting conditions, you are likely not to get 5600K, regardless of the actual flash tube. I have also tested a variety of camera and lens combinations, and few match each other. The dome will drop color temperature by 200-300K (or right into the middle of the variance range of Alien Bees and White Lightning).Īdditionally, any modifier you use will affect color temperature, as will the environment (colored walls, floors, etc). The color temperature of Einstein is 5600K, however that is without the dome in place (and it is perfectly OK to use it this way, if a specific 5600K color temperature is a higher priority). Typically, a consistent temperature from shot to shot and power level to power level and light to light is of more importance than the actual color temperature. There is a lot that goes into measured color temperature.
