Description

the

path
The

length
is
~0.0353
dB/step.
One-push white balance
The
camera
automatically
generates
frames,
based
on
the
current
settings
of
all
registers
(GAIN,
OFFSET,
SHUTTER,
etc.).
For
white
balance,
in
total
9
frames
are
processed.
For
the
white
balance
algorithm
the
whole
image
or
a
subset
of
it
is
used.
The
R-G-B
component
values
of
the
samples
are
added
and
are
used
as
actual
values
for
the
one-push
white
balance.
This
feature
uses
the
assumption
that
the
R-G-B
component
sums
of
the
samples
shall
be
equal;
i.e.,
it
assumes
that
the
average
of
the
sampled
grid
pixels
is
to
be
monochrome.
Note
While
lowering
both
U/B
and
V/R
registers
from
284
towards
0,
the
lower
one
of
the
two
effectively
controls
the
green
gain.
