White Balance
The 'WB' and 'TINT' indicators display your camera's current white balance and tint.
Tapping these indicators lets you adjust your camera's white balance and tint to suit varying
lighting conditions.

Every light source emits a color. For example, a candle flame emits a warm color, and an
overcast sky emits a cool color. White balance settings are used to color balance your image so
white stays white by adjusting the mix of orange and blue in your image. For example, when
shooting under tungsten lamps which emit a warm, orange light, selecting 3200K adds some
blue to the image. This balances the color so white is accurately recorded.
Your URSA Mini comes with white balance presets for a variety of color temperature conditions.
These are:
Bright sunlight
Incandescent bulbs
Fluorescent bulbs
Mixed light
Cloud
You can customize any of these presets by tapping or holding the arrow icons to the left and
right of the temperature indicator in the bottom left of the 'white balance' menu. Each tap moves
the color temperature up or down 50K, but holding the arrow icons down will increase these
increments for faster changes. Alternatively, you can move the temperature slider in the middle
of the 'white balance' menu.
To further dial in your image, you can adjust the 'tint.' This adjusts the mix of green and magenta
in your image. For example, adding some magenta can compensate for the green cast of many
fluorescent lights. Many of your URSA Mini's white balance presets include some tint.
Tapping the white balance and tint indicator on your URSA Mini gives you access to
five presets, as well as a white balance indicator and slider on the left, and a tint indicator
on the right. Adjust these to set a custom white balance for your lighting conditions
