9Auto White Balance

Most light sources are not 100% pure white but have a certain ‘color temperature’. Normally our eyes compensate for lighting conditions with different color temperatures.

If the automatic white balance is selected, the WebCam will look for a reference point which represents white.

It will then calculate all other colors based on this white point and compensate the other colors accordingly, just like the human eye.

You can also select fixed settings for ‘Indoor’, ‘Outdoor’ and ‘Fluorescence’ conditions or use the ‘Red’ and ‘Blue’ sliders if you would like to set the WebCam according to your personal color temperature preferences.
