Auto White Balance (AWB)

Use of auto white balance adjustment in inappropriate lighting conditions may result in reddish or bluish pictures. Where the subject is surrounded by many light sources or there are no white or whitish objects in the frame, auto white balance adjustment may not operate properly.

In this case, set the white balance to a mode except [AWB] manually.
