Step 2

Move the cursor onto "BW" and select a parameter from the following.

AUTO1: Images will be automatically switched between colour and B/W according to brightness (illumination). When illuminance is low, images will be displayed in B/W. When illuminance is high, images will be dis- played in colour.

AUTO2: Click this button when using the camera in the nighttime with near-infra red rays as light source.

EXT: Images will be displayed in B/W by making "DAY/NIGHT IN" terminal short-circuit.

ON: Images will be displayed in B/W.

OFF: Images will be displayed in colour.

Default: OFF

Note:

When shooting a constantly moving subject or when the screen is filled by similar colours, it may be diffi- cult for the camera to judge where the light source is, since light source is simplistatically detected according to information from the CCD image sen- sor.

When "AUTO2" is selected, wavelength of light source should be 80 nm or more.

Step 3

Move the cursor onto "LEVEL" and select a parameter from the following.

LOW: When illuminance around the camera is approx. 1 lx or less, images will be automatically displayed in B/W.

HIGH: When illuminance around the camera is approx. 5 lx or less, images will be automatically displayed in B/W.

Default: HIGH

Step 4

Move the cursor onto "DURATION TIME" and select a parameter (wait time to switch between the colour mode and the B/W mode) from the following.

10 s - 30 s – 60 s – 300 s

(S)	(L)
Default: 30 sec

Step 5

Move the cursor onto "BURST (BW)" and select "ON" or "OFF" to determine whether or not to output burst sig- nals when displaying images in B/W.

ON: Output burst signals

OFF: Does not output burst signals

Default: ON

Notes:

•It is also possible to make the camera to adjust the flange-back length automatically to correct out-of-

focus which may be caused when switching between the colour image display and the BW image

display.

•When displaying colour images in B/W, images may

not be displayed correctly without burst signals depending on a monitor or a VTR. In this case,

select "ON".
