Applicable modes:
In sunlight, under incandescent lights or in other such conditions where the color of white
takes on a reddish or bluish tinge, this item adjusts to the color of white which is closest to
what is seen by the eye in accordance with the light source.
Note
Under fluorescent lighting, LED lighting fixture etc., the appropriate White Balance will vary
depending on the lighting type, so use [AWB] or [Ó].
The White Balance setting is memorized even if the camera is turned off. (However, the White
Balance setting for a Scene Mode returns to [AWB] when the Scene Mode is changed.)
White Balance is fixed to [AWB] in following conditions.
[Scenery]/[Night Portrait]/[Night Scenery]/[Handheld Night Shot]/[Food]/[Sunset] in Scene

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 this case, set the White Balance to a mode other than [AWB].
