Tips
The image is susceptible to lighting
conditions. The image looks blue under
sunlight in the summer, and looks red
under mercury lamps. Human eyes can
resolve these problems. However, the
camera cannot resolve the problem by
making adjustments. Normally, the
camera adjusts it automatically, but, if the
image appears in strange colors, we
recommend that you change the white
balance mode.
