Auto white balance
Depending on the conditions prevailing when pictures are taken, the pictures may take on
a reddish or bluish tinge. Furthermore, when a multiple number of light sources are being
used or there is nothing with a color close to white, auto white balance may not function
properly. In a case like this, set the white balance to a mode other than [AWB].
