Description of Parameters

White Balance

Under certain light conditions, the color truthfulness of white may vary. White balance is used to correct this kind of color variation.

Select one of the following profiles for white balance:

Automatic WB	The factory default setting should produce the best results with most applications.
Cloudy/Hazy	If the automatic setting does not deliver satisfactory results in settings with a very cloudy sky, try using the Cloudy/Hazy profile for white balance.
Outdoor	If the automatic setting does not deliver satisfactory results in outdoor settings, try using the Outdoor profile for white balance.
Sunny	If the automatic setting does not deliver satisfactory results in settings with a very sunny sky, try using the Sunny profile for white balance.
Fluorescent Lamp	If the automatic setting does not deliver satisfactory results in settings with many fluorescent lamps, try using the Fluorescent Lamp profile for white balance.
Incandescent Lamp	If the automatic setting does not deliver satisfactory results in settings illuminated by incandescent lamps, try using the Incandescent Lamp profile for white balance.

Color Saturation

Color saturation controls the color intensity. The higher the saturation, the more intense are the colors. The value -10 produces a gray-scale image.

Blue balance

Controls the blue channel of the image.

Color Balance for Red

Controls the red channel of the image.

The camera displays the current color settings of the image sensors at the end of the dialog.
