∫ About auto white balance
The available white balance range is shown
in the illustration above. When you take a
picture beyond the available white balance
range, the picture may appear reddish or
bluish. Even within the confines of the
range, the auto white balance may not
operate properly if there are many light
sources or there is no color close to white.
In these cases, set the white balance to a
mode other than [AWB].
