The device interface
When the camera detects the color temperature of the incoming light, it can adjust the image to make the colors look more
natural. If this is not sufficient, you can select a suitable light source from the list.
The automatic white balance setting reduces the risk of color flicker by adapting to changes gradually. If the lighting changes, or
when the camera is first started, it can take up to 30 seconds to adapt to the new light source. If there is more than one type
of light source in a scene, that is they differ in color temperature, the dominating light source acts as a reference for the
automatic white balance algorithm. This behavior can be overridden by choosing a fixed white balance setting that matches
the light source you want to use as a reference.
