„ 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. 52).

(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 Day/Night Mode

(1) [Auto]

The camera automatically switches to day mode or

night mode depending on ambient brightness.

(2) [Day Mode]

Color image can be viewed in the normal mode.

(3) [Night Mode]

Images are shown in black and white, due to the

disabling of the infrared cut filter.

(4) [Day/Night Mode Focus Settings]

Click to display the [Day/Night Mode Focus Settings]

panel for making focus settings when switching Day/

Night Mode. Can only be set when [Focus] is set to

[Manual] (p. 139).

Important

• If the subject is a traffic signal or electronic scoreboard, etc.,

the captured image may flicker.

In this case, try changing [Exposure] to [Auto (Shutter-priority
AE)] and then select a shutter speed lower than 1/100, to see

if the situation improves.

• The [BLC] button is not available if [Exposure] is set to

[Manual].

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 [Day/Night] is set to [Night Mode] (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.
