Normally our eyes compensate for lighting conditions with different color temperatures. If the automatic white balance is selected, the webcam will look for a reference point which represents white. It will then calculate all other colors based on this white point and compensate the other colors accordingly, just like the human eye. You can also select Àxed settings for [Indoor], [Outdoor] and [Fluorescense] conditions or use the `Red' and `Blue' effect if you would like to set the webcam according to your color temperature preferences.
