HMI is short for Hydrargyrum Medium-Arc Iodide-sort of just rolls off the tongue, no? Other available WB settings are Daylight (5200º K.), Cloudy (6000 º), Shade (7000 º), Tungsten (3200 º), HMI (5600 º), Fluorescent warm and Fluorescent cool, Flash (5400 º) K.

I used the Auto White Balance setting most of the time. There are three channels (Red, Green and Blue for humans on planet Earth) so the total yield in a 14-bit system is 16,384 x 16,384 x 16,384 which-without going any further-is an enormous amount of data! In 14-bit recording, the number increases to a whopping 2 14 or 16,384 shades per channel. Conventional 12-bit raw recording systems capture 2 12 or 4,096 shades of color per channel. If you’ve never heard the scientific explanation of the benefit of 14-bit recording, here is the short (New York minute) answer. (Click image to view at full resolution.)
