I'd like to set a custom white balance for the Sony QX1, rather than one of the current presets ("Auto", "Cloudy", etc.) - is this possible?

If not, then is this feature coming in the next release of the api (and approximately when will this be)?

Thanks

Yes, you can set a custom White Balance. Take a look at the "White Balance parameter" section from the API Reference PDF:

White balance mode parameter

value explanation

"Auto WB" Auto WB "Daylight" Daylight "Shade" Shade "Cloudy" Cloudy "Incandescent" Incandescent "Fluorescent: Warm White (-1)" Fluorescent: Warm White (-1) "Fluorescent: Cool White (0)" Fluorescent: Cool White (0) "Fluorescent: Day White (+1)" Fluorescent: Day White (+1) "Fluorescent: Daylight (+2)" Fluorescent: Daylight (+2) "Flash" Flash "Color Temperature" Color Temperature "Custom 1" Custom 1 "Custom 2" Custom 2 "Custom 3" Custom 3

White balance color temperature parameter When a value of color temperature is -1, the parameter is invalid. The below is a sample of color temperature range. value explanation [9900, 2500, 100] [Maximum value, minimum value, step value] In this case, it means that from 2500K to 9900K with 100K increments in between.
