9.5.9 White Balance
On the Camera – WB page you can define the White Balance settings.
A camera needs to find a reference color temperature as a way of measuring the quality of a light source
for calculating all other colors. The unit for measuring this ratio is in Kelvin (°K) degrees. You can select
one of the White Balance control modes according to the operating environment. The table below shows
the color temperature of some light sources for reference.
Light Sources Color Temperature (in K°)
Cloudy Sky 6,000 to 8,000
Noon Sun and Clear Sky 6,500
Household Lighting 2,500 to 3,000
