Note
The apparent colors of an object vary with lighting conditions. Many objects
appear bluer under summertime daylight and redder under artificial lights. The
human eye is better at compensating for different lighting conditions than is
automatic equipment such as the Memory Stick Camera Module. If the color
balance of an entire image appears unnatural when the camera is set to automatic
mode, modifying the white balance manually may allow you to record more
natural images.
