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 without 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.
