| To use the Color Balance controls, check the Enable command - the R, G and B sliders |

| Use the White Balance (Soft) button for balancing white color (same can be done on |
| Device> White Balance (Soft) or with the 'W' keyboard accelerator) in the Color |
| Balance tab. |
| The Default button restores the default values of the Color Balance controls: 1, 00; 1, |
| 00; 1, 00, respectively. |
| A single step of each Color Balance control is 10 times smaller than R, G, |
| B (Gain) of Sensor Controls, so all changes of Color Balance are performed with more |
| exactness than using R, G, B (Gain) of Sensor Controls. |

Note: | The difference between White balance (Soft) and White Balance (Hard) is as follows. The White Balance |
| (Soft) operation is done only on the software level, so it changes the Color Balance Controls. The White Bal- |

| Sensor Controls |
