Abstract
This document describes methods and systems for a hybrid white balance, HWB, mode (), which is a hybrid of automatic and manual WB modes, in a camera system () of an electronic device (). The HWB mode may provide options for a user to select a WB setting, via a camera user interface () in a live-preview mode (), along a continuous WB-adjustment range. In this way, the user's desired color can be applied with respect to images or video captured by the camera system. The camera UI includes a manual WB control () to manually adjust the white balance. A WB module () determines target WB gains corresponding to the manual WB control relative to an initial automatic WB decision for a current frame displayed in the live-preview mode of the camera application. In aspects, a look-up-table correlating to the manual WB control is used to compute the target WB gains.
