Hello. My Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is having issues with white balance and scene options.
1) Presets for different light sources work, but if you set it to manual, screen becomes black (ui works, just picture gone) you can even access WB adjustment in the +/- menu, but its obviously not doing anything because screen is completely black. (and it stays black untill you set it to anything but manual + choose different photo mode OR restart the app )
Launchng open camera with WB set to manual results in blacks screen aswell.
2) Scene option gets a hard priority over WB, meaning, if you have a scene set anything but to auto, white balance options dont affect anything. Even the broken manual setting on WB is not doing anything. Only way to get WB presets to work again is set scene to auto and choose different photo mode or reboot the app. (setting WB to manual with any scene preset enabled doesnt turn the screen black, however +/- adjustment is not changing anything either)
I dont know if scenes should get a priority over WB, but it feels like they shouldnt?
ISO and shutter speed manual adjustments work fine, though live picture becomes a bit laggy. (having them on auto or manual doesnt affect the outcome of the WB situation, dont know if thats even related but i tried pretty much everything at this point)
I really want white balance slider to work. Right now the only way to take good pictures is to point camera at different things untill you get close to colors that you want and then lock white balance with lock function, which takes a long time.
Tried in every mode, resolution, all kinds of different setting combinations, and manual white balance just doesnt work. And its been like that through a few open camera updates.
I can provide more information about my phone or settings im using if that may help solve the problem.
Thank you for your time.

Ah I should have looked for this before posting in "Feature Suggestions", I too am having WB issues switching between auto and manual on a Redmi Note 8 Pro.
