Parameters-White Balance

White Balance​

The white balance modes can be controlled using this extension.

The available white balance modes are defined in the CameraParameters class:

  • CameraParameters.WHITE_BALANCE_MODE_LOCKED: The white balance setting is locked
  • CameraParameters.WHITE_BALANCE_MODE_AUTO: The device performs an auto white balance operation now
  • CameraParameters.WHITE_BALANCE_MODE_CONTINUOUS: The device continuously monitors white balance and adjusts when necessary

Availability​

White balance modes aren't available on all devices so it's important that you check whether the device supports the mode before attempting to set it.

if (device.isWhiteBalanceSupported( CameraParameters.WHITE_BALANCE_MODE_CONTINUOUS ))
{
    // Continuous exposure mode is supported
}

Changing Modes​

To set the white balance mode simply call setWhiteBalanceMode with the required mode

if (device.isWhiteBalanceSupported( CameraParameters.WHITE_BALANCE_MODE_CONTINUOUS ))
{
    device.setWhiteBalanceMode( CameraParameters.WHITE_BALANCE_MODE_CONTINUOUS );
}
