If the lighting changes, orwhen the camera is first started, it can take up to 30 seconds to adapt to the new light source. If there is more than one type of lightsource in a scene, that is, they differ in color temperature, the dominating light source acts as a reference for the automatic whitebalance algorithm. This behavior can be overridden by choosing a fixed white balance setting that matches the light source youwant to use as a reference.Light environment:• Automatic: Automatic identification and compensation for the light source color.
