Configuring the Camera AW00097209000
White Balance Mask
- Click the White Balance Mask button to open the White Balance Mask
Editor as shown below.
The white balance mask defines the area(s) of the image that will be used by the camera's
automatic white balancing function when the White Balance Mode parameter is set to Auto (see
Section 3.3 on page 13). Only the areas highlighted in the editor will be included in the white
balance mask. To highlight an area within the editor, use the tools described under "Mask Editor
Tools" on page 28.
The area under the mask will be used by the automatic white balance control to define what "white"
is. So you should always place the white balance mask over an area of the image that is truly a
white area. If you place the mask over, for example, a green area of the image, you will find that the
color balance in your captured images is badly skewed when the White Balance Mode parameter is
set to Auto.
