What is the difference between flash and continuous light, light quality or color temperature, and tungsten lamp and incandescent lamp?

The main difference between flash and continuous light itself is operation and brightness. The flashlight has better controllability and adjustability, can be matched with more accessories, and can meet various shooting effect requirements. But the equipment requires hot boots, which is not suitable for video recording. The operation of continuous light is simpler, as long as the light is turned on and the position is put down, no more operation is needed. But also has better matching with the shooting environment and equipment, can meet the light supplement requirements of various equipment, and is not suitable for any equipment.

In fact, the quality of light is mainly brightness. The higher the brightness, the better the light quality. The wattage of the flash lamp is more than 8 times different from the brightness of the continuous lamp, so the flash lamp is a complete victory. In terms of color temperature, photography generally requires close to the natural color temperature in the sun, about 5500K K, which is the color temperature of the light emitted by the flash tube of the flash (if there is a special need for different color temperatures, it can be equipped with four-leaf baffle and other accessories); Continuous light can also be replaced by such a light bulb, or some LEDs can adjust their own color temperature. Although the energy-saving bulb used at home emits white light, its color temperature is actually high, and the color temperature close to 6000 is blue.

The color temperature of tungsten lamp and incandescent lamp is different, the warm color of tungsten lamp is about 3200K, and that of incandescent lamp is about 6000 K; Some portraits or indoor photographers will use the warm colors of tungsten lamp.
