Setting White Balance

(1) [Auto]

The white balance is adjusted automatically.

(2) [Light Source]

Select the light source from the pull-down menu below

according to the condition in which the camera is

used.

For an explanation on each item set in [Light Source],

see [White Balance] in the Setting page (p. 5-10).

(3) [Lock]

The white balance is fixed to that of the video currently

received.

To forcibly fix the white balance according to the light

source, use [One-shot WB].

Example of Setting Method:

Irradiate a white subject (white paper, etc.) using the

light source and capture the subject over the entire

screen. In this condition, select [One-shot WB].

Setting the Night Mode

Note

The Night Mode cannot be used if [Auto] is set for day/night

under [Camera] on the Setting page (p. 5-11).

[Day Mode]
Color image can be viewed in the normal mode.

[Night Mode]
Images are shown in black and white, due to the

disabling of the infrared cut filter.

Note

• Refer to the following for focus ranges when Day/Night is

enabled.

Notes on p. 3-8

Notes on p. 5-10

The Camera Angle Setting Tool allows you to

select the focus control method used when switching Day/

Night Mode to suit the lighting environment the camera is

being used under (p. 3-9).

Operating the External Device Output

You can operate the external device output and display

the current output status using an icon. The [ON]/[OFF]

status can be switched by clicking this icon.

Example:

Output1: Output OFF

Output2: Output ON

Important

• Since the light source selection options are based on

representative characteristics, proper colors may not be

achieved depending on the applicable light source. In this

case, use the [One-shot WB] function.

• If the subject looks greenish under mercury lamps in the

[Auto] mode, select the [Mercury Lamp] mode under light
source. If the image is still not shown in appropriate colors

under mercury lamps when the [Mercury Lamp] mode is

selected under light source, use [One-shot WB].

• When the subject has only one color, under low light

conditions, or when sodium lamps, mercury lamps or certain
other fluorescent lighting is used, colors may not be adjusted

automatically.

• When [Night Mode] is set (including when it is set to [Auto]

and night mode is judged to be applicable), the white
balance function cannot be used.

• Notes on capturing video continuously day and night

If a subject that seldom changes is captured in a location

where the light source changes gradually, such as when

capturing a subject continuously day and night, appropriate
colors may not be achieved.

In the above case, applying changes to the image to capture

will achieve the appropriate colors.
