Automatic

Controls whether the white balance is adjusted automatically for each retrieved image.

The adjustment runs on the currently retrieved image only and uses a “grey world assumption” white balance algorithm to determine the necessary color gains.

Format

Boolean

When set to true the Red, Green and Blue nodes will be adjusted at each Capture. command involving this camera.

Default Value

true

Note

The used algorithm will adjust the colors gains such that each color channel has equal power in the image. When running automatic white balancing on a scene where one color is predominant in the image, the adjustment will dim this color, causing an unnatural representation of the scene.
