Hello,  
I tried different lenses with hello world example.  
The lens with built in IR filter film shows normal color. While the lens without built-in IR filter shows the image more in red as the image attached.  
Is there any possibility to adjust the “red” image into normal image by software in IDE?

Thanks  
Nanjun

Yes, adjust the auto white balance gains.

That said, our product goal is generally not super Hugh image quality. Getting a camera to produce great images requires tunning things for the lens, focal length, and etc with calibration setups. If we wanted to make the product better for this we could need to remove all customization options.
