LENS SETTING (LENS)
C DAY/NIGHT setting
The DAY/NIGHT mode can be set to one of three settings (AUTO, COLOR or B/W) to improve the appearance of images. This lets you set
the filming mode to color mode during times of normal brightness, or to black & white mode to increase sensitivity when there is less light.
When you select a mode, you may then need to make detailed settings for the respective mode used.
• AUTO: Automatic mode; The mode switches automatically
between color mode and black & white mode depending on
the luminance of the objects being monitored. (See p24)
• COLOR: Color mode; Images are filmed in color regardless of
the luminance of the objects being monitored. (See p27)
• B/W: Black & white mode; Images are filmed in black & white
regardless of the luminance of the objects being monitored.
(See p28)
Note: When “COLOR” is selected, the mode is fixed at color and
you can only view images that are in color. The same
applies to B/W mode. However, you can also use the
ALARM IN terminal on the rear panel to force the mode to
change from COLOR to B/W or from B/W to COLOR. Refer
to the “Color/black & white selection setting” for
details on the setting method. (See p59)
Note:
• A sound may be heard when the colour image or black and
white image is switched. Also, the image will be distorted as
shown in Fig. 1. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
• When using infrared lighting, if there is a strong reflection on
the subject, the optical filter may switch from black and white
to colour mode. Use only enough infrared lighting so that the
mode is not switched.
