Auto white balance
The available white balance range is shown in
the illustration above. When you take a
picture beyond the available white balance
range, the picture may appear reddish or
bluish. Even within the confines of the range,
the auto white balance may not operate
properly if there are many light sources or
there is no colour close to white. In these
cases, set the white balance to a mode other
than [AWB].
