Inaccurate white balance on iPad 9th gen camera

My lights are 5000k. My Android, both on auto and manual, gets it close. No matter what I do on the ipad 9, the white balance is yellow. I have used Pro Shot to set the white balance manually to 5k and it's even more yellow. I suspect it's the ipad and not the program, bc the ipad in just the camera app is also yellow. I am speaking of the pictures themselves, not the display. Can anyone help? It is not an M1 but I would not expect an Apple product to be this dismal. Thank you

You might be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to hands-on test and assess your iPad.


If a fault is identified, you will be in the best possible place to explore your available options:
