3.2.1. WB Mode

White balance ensures that colors appear natural and accurate under different lighting conditions. Available white balance modes include:

AWB: The camera automatically adjusts white balance based on the surrounding lighting conditions.
AWB Lock: This mode locks in the white balance that the camera has set for the current scene.
Custom: Users can manually set the white balance using a white balance card or by selecting a specific color temperature.
VAR: Users can fine-tune the white balance by adjusting the color temperature and other settings.

3.2.2. Red & Blue Gain

Red and blue gain allows users to fine-tune the intensity of red and blue colors in the image. This can be useful for correcting color casts or achieving a specific color palette.

3.2.3. Color Temp.

Color temperature refers to the overall warmth or coolness of the image. A higher color temperature creates a cooler, bluer image, while a lower color temperature creates a warmer, redder image. Users can adjust the color temperature to achieve their desired look.

3.2.4. Hue

Hue controls the overall color tone of the image. It represents the dominant color that appears in the image. Adjusting the hue can shift the colors in the image, creating a specific mood or atmosphere.

3.2.5. B &W Mode

Black and white mode converts the image to grayscale, removing all color information. Users can adjust the contrast and sharpness of the black and white image.

3.3. Image

The image settings allow users to fine-tune the appearance of the live stream to match their desired visual style. These settings include style selection, contrast adjustment, saturation control, brightness modification, gamma correction, and image mirroring or flipping, dehaze, 2D and 3D noise reduction.

Custom: This style allows users to create their own custom look. Users can adjust the color tone, contrast, saturation, and sharpness to create a unique look that suits their needs.

3.3.2. Image Parameters

Users can manually adjust various image parameters to further refine the visual appearance of the live stream:

Sharpness: Controls the clarity and crispness of the image. Increasing sharpness can make details appear more defined, while decreasing sharpness can create a softer, more diffused look.
Contrast: Controls the difference between the brightest and darkest parts of the image. Adjusting contrast can make the image appear more or less defined.
Saturation: Determines the intensity of colors in the image. Increasing saturation can make colors appear more vibrant, while decreasing saturation can create a more muted or washed-out look.
Brightness: Adjusts the overall brightness of the image. Increasing brightness can make the image appear lighter, while decreasing brightness can make it appear darker.
Gamma: Controls the overall tonal range of the image, affecting the mid-tones and highlights. Adjusting gamma can make the image appear more or less contrasty.

3.3.3. Image Mirroring and Flipping

Users can choose to mirror or flip the image horizontally or vertically. Mirroring creates a reflection of the image, while flipping reverses the image. These options can be useful for adjusting the camera’s perspective or creating specific visual effects.

3.3.4. Dehaze

Dehaze function can reduce haze and improves visibility in foggy or misty conditions. It works by analyzing the image and identifying areas of low contrast, which are often characteristic of haze. The dehaze algorithm then selectively brightens these areas to make the image appear clearer.

3.3.5. 2D & 3D NR
