The values in the U/B_Value field produce changes from green to blue; the
V/R_Value field from green to red as illustrated below.
The increment length is ~0.0353 dB/step.
One-push automatic white balance
To configure this feature in control and status register (CSR): See Table 46:
White balance register on page 115.
The camera automatically generates frames, based on the current settings of
all registers (GAIN, OFFSET, SHUTTER, etc.).
For white balance, in total 9 frames are processed. For the white balance
algorithm the whole image or a subset of it is used. The R-G-B component
values of the samples are added and are used as actual values for both the
one-push and the automatic white balance.
This feature uses the assumption that the R-G-B component sums of the sam-
ples shall be equal; i.e., it assumes that the average of the sampled grid pix-
els is to be monochrome.
