Tone mapping
zero, only the standard gamma correction is applied, while a higher value increases the visibility of the darkest and brightest

White balance
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.
