Auto White Balance (AWB)
Use of auto white balance adjustment
in inappropriate lighting conditions may
result in reddish or bluish pictures. Where
the subject is surrounded by many light
sources or there are no white or whitish
objects in the frame, auto white balance
adjustment may not operate properly.
In this case, set the white balance to a
mode except [AWB] manually.
