[PATCH 04/15] V4L: Add camera white balance preset control

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add V4L2_CID_WHITE_BALANCE_PRESET control for camera white balance
presets. The following items are defined:

 - V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_NONE,
 - V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_INCANDESCENT,
 - V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_FLUORESCENT,
 - V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_HORIZON,
 - V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_DAYLIGHT,
 - V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_FLASH,
 - V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_CLOUDY,
 - V4L2_WHITE_BALANCE_SHADE,

This is a manual white balance control, in addition to V4L2_CID_RED_BALANCE,
V4L2_CID_BLUE_BALANCE and V4L2_CID_WHITE_BALANCE_TEMPERATURE. It's useful
for camera devices running more complex firmware and exposing white balance
preset selection in their user register interface.
