Tips
The image is affected by the 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 automatically, but if
the image appears in strange colors, we
recommend that you change the white
balance mode.
