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

not operate correctly if there is a multiple number of light sources.
Under fluorescent lighting, LED lighting fixture etc., the appropriate White Balance will

Mode is changed, the white balance setting returns automatically to [AWB].)
