When [AWB] (Automatic White Balance) is set, the coloring is adjusted in accordance
with the light source. However, if the scene is too bright or too dark or if other extreme
conditions apply, the pictures may appear reddish or bluish. The White Balance may
not operate correctly if there is a multiple number of light sources.
Under fluorescent lighting, LED lighting fixture etc., the appropriate White Balance will
vary depending on the lighting type, so use [AWB] or [ ].
[White Balance] setting is fixed to [AWB] in the following cases:
• Scene Modes ([Scenery], [Night Portrait], [Night Scenery], [Handheld Night Shot],
[Food], [Sunset], [Starry Sky])
• Except when [Panorama Shot] Mode effect is [No Effect]
Even if the camera is turned off, the previously set White Balance value is
remembered. (If the Scene Mode is changed, the White Balance setting returns
automatically to [AWB].)
