What is White Balance under Camera settings in Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom(SM-C101)?

Last Update date : Oct 13. 2020

White balance (WB) represents the light source that influences the colour of a photo. The colour of a photo depends on the type and quality of the light source. If you want the colour of your photo to be realistic, select an appropriate lighting condition to calibrate the white balance, or adjust colour temperature manually.

Types of WB ( Light source ) :



1. Auto : You can use automatic settings depending on the lighting conditions.

2. Daylight : You can use this for sunny days. This option results in photos closest to the natural colours of the scene.

3. Cloudy : You can use this for cloudy days or in shadows. Photos taken on cloudy days tend to be more bluish than on sunny days. You can use this option to offsets the effect.

4. Fluorescent H :You can use this under daylight fluorescent or 3-way fluorescent lights.

5. Fluorescent L : You can use this under white fluorescent lights.

6. Tungsten : You can use this under incandescent bulbs or halogen lamps. Incandescent tungsten bulbs tend to have a reddish hue. This option offsets that effect.

7. Custom set : You can use this to set a custom white balance. Aim the lens at a piece of white surface, and then press the Shutter button.

8. K : You can use this to manually adjust the colour temperature of the light source. The colour distribution becomes warmer. Tap +/- to adjust the colour temperature.
