Night mode For the duration of this preset, you can change the camera’s Day/Night setting.
Day/Night is a camera feature that switches the camera mode from color (day)
to monochrome (night) and removes the IR cut filter, which increases the
camera’s sensitivity in low light. It also allows the camera to function with IR
lighting. It is programmed under Camera | Settings (see
Settings screen
( Camera | Settings ) on page 22).
Note: The Day/Night feature works only if the Exposure feature is set to Auto or
Return to auto. See
Interrelationship between the Exposure and Day/Night
features on page 64.
When you turn on the Night mode feature, you are telling the camera to override
the normal operating setting as follows:
• Automatic: If the Day/Night feature is set to Automatic under
Camera | Settings, then the Night mode feature will use the Day/Night
setting customized for the preset for 5 to 10 seconds. After 5 to 10
seconds, the camera will revert to the normal operating setting and
adjust for the current light conditions.
• Manual: If the Day/Night feature is set to Manual under
Camera | Settings, then the Night mode feature will use the Day/Night
setting customized for the preset until the preset is left. After the preset
is left, the camera will revert to the Day/Night setting that it was using
before the preset was called.
• Disabled: If the Day/Night feature is set to Manual under
Camera | Settings, then the Night mode feature will do nothing.
Choices are Off (default) and On.
Backlight For the duration of this preset, you can change the camera's Backlight
compensation setting. Backlight compensation is a feature that illuminates the
display so that the foreground appears sharper in contrast with the background.
Choices are Off (default) and On.
