setting if you select the automatic exposure option.

9 Auto White Balance
Most light sources are not 100% pure white but have a
certain ‘color temperature’. 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 fixed settings for ‘Indoor’, ‘Outdoor’ and
‘Fluorescence’ conditions or use the ‘Red’ and ‘Blue’ sliders if
you would like to set the WebCam according to your
personal color temperature preferences.
