White balance is one of the most overlooked drone settings.
In this short tutorial I cover:
• Why Auto WB causes colour shift
• Practical Kelvin values for different conditions
• A simple baseline for Sharpness and Noise Reduction
• And how white balance can be used creatively to change the mood of a scene
Filmed at Climping Beach with real-world examples.

Green grass is also ‘18% grey’ …![]()
Not much of that in indoor arenas where I did most of my work same goes for football stadiums under floodlights.
These youngsters don’t know how easy they have it now ;o)
Great video Paul,

I haven’t had a chance to put this video on the site yet but the links on any of the other tutorials will take you to the folder where all the PDFs are kept. Let me know if you have a problem downloading it.
