The present invention relates to a combined white balance switching device for video camera, and more particularly to a combined white balance switching device that improves over-all color reproduction capability by mainly employing sensor type and in case where color temperature becomes different, switching to image signal sensing type. A sensor-type white balance device adjusts white balance by detecting B(blue) and R(red) components from incident light coming through a white cap 15, comparing said B(blue) and R(red) with reference voltages and outputting control voltages b,a from controllers 22, 23 to control Gain-Controller's 10,9 of color signal shaping circuit 100, and when difference of color temperature values becomes great, an image-signal-sensing-type white balance device adjusts the white balance by detecting R-Y(red-luminance), B-Y(blue-luminance) components from R-Y(red-luminance), B-Y(blue-luminance) matrices 12, 13, comparing said R-Y, B-Y components with reference voltages V1, V2, outputting control voltages c,d as much as the differences between said R-Y, B-Y components and said reference voltages V1, V2 and thus controlling Gain-Controller's 9, 10.
