In this mode, the color temperature is monitored continuously and thereby white bal-
ance is set automatically. The color temperature range for the proper white balance is
approximately 2 600 - 6 000K. Proper white balance may not be obtained under the fol-
lowing conditions:

2 600 - 6 000K range.

high color temperature objects,
such as a blue sky or sunset.
