How can I stop my phone camera changing colour whenever I record a white wall?

Our answer

Lock white balance and exposure before filming the white wall; automatic metering keeps recalculating the scene.

Why this approach makes sense

Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.

Before you try it

Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
