Auto White Balance
When [AWB] (Automatic White Balance) is set, the coloring is adjusted in accordance
with the light source. However, if the scene is too bright or too dark or if other extreme
conditions apply, the pictures may appear reddish or bluish. The White Balance may
not operate correctly if there is a multiple number of light sources. In that case, set the
[White Balance] to settings other than [AWB] to adjust the coloring.
