What happens when the color temperature is set at 5200k for night shooting?

It glows cold.

Color temperature literally means the temperature of color. The temperature of color is endowed with emotional color. Generally speaking, what we call cool colors and warm colors are emotional feelings brought by colors. Color temperature is a reference value for controlling cool colors and warm colors, which is usually expressed by K value. By controlling (camera's) color temperature, we can shoot colors and tones that are cold or warm or consistent or inconsistent with what the human eye sees. Therefore, in photography, color temperature plays an important role in expressing our emotions and expressing the theme.

If you shoot a cloudy snow scene, you can improve the color temperature, make the whole picture have a cold effect, and make the picture have a transparent cool blue tone. When shooting the sunset glow, if you shoot it in a common way, the effect will be dull and the color of the light-shadow interface will be grayish yellow. Adjust the low color temperature properly to make the sunset glow warmer and the effect is warm and gorgeous. When shooting indoor pictures, the light is yellow, so you can adjust the color temperature to get a proper white balance. The light in the morning is cold, so the color temperature can be appropriately increased to achieve the white balance of hue.
