3500K vs. 5500K and White Balance


i have used 3500k fluorescent in studio. i've been looking @ upgrading lighting (from work lamps), out there seems 5400-5600k (for example, see http://gear.digitaljuice.com/products/products.asp?pid=2575).

 

i asked professional know , made statement, "if white balance, shouldn't matter".

 

could please explain me how can shoot using daylight temperature lighting (5400-5600k) in studio, white balance, , studio color (3200-3500k)? mean, isnt' being suggested pro?

 

and doesn't mean if want daylight temperature, should never white balance (and vice versa)?

 

many thanks, everyone.

i believe meant was, if shoot in 3200k , white balance properly, change 5500k , white balance again, 2 images should identical.

 

your job tell camera color light is, or set auto , let figure out itself. prefer tell camera after see auto came with. problem cameras can become confused in mixed lighting.

 

it should not matter color light (within reason) if camera @ adjusting color of light.

 

so, why color of light matter? matters when mixing combination of practicals (on set lamps, etc), studio lights, , natural light. want make sure of light same color whenever possible. professionals use gels accomplish task when must.

 

if there slightest chance going take lights outside, daylight balanced lamps make sense. why out there set way.

 

having said of that, there times break rules. sure know rules breaking , have valid reason so.
