Hitachi KP-DE500, KP-E500 operation manual Autoh, Autom, Autol

NOTE

1)	Enhanced sensitivity can cause blurring of moving
	images.
2)	In the following types of cases, reduce the sensitivity
	multiple.
	・ Noise increases at high sensitivity and further

Raising sensitivity by color-B/W selection [Only KP-DE500 type]

1)Press the SET button for longer than 2 seconds to display the “MAIN MENU”.

increases at high frequency.

・ The Shutter speed cannot be changed during

Auto and Manual SENS UP settings. Temporarily

set SENS UP to OFF when changing the Shutter

speed.

・ White flaws may become apparent at high

sensitivity, but these are not due to malfunction.

2)Use the UP and DOWN buttons to shift the cursor to “B/W MODE” ; the setting flashes.

3)Press the SET button to select the setting sequentially in the following order.

SET button: OFF→ON→AUTO(H)→AUTO(M)→AUTO(L)

OFF : Color always mode; factory setting.

ON : B/W always mode

AUTO	: Changes to the color image and B/W image
	automatically according to brightness.
	1) The character of the rest of “AUTO” is showing
	the brightness (the image level) where the mode
	changes from color to a B/W image.
	AUTO(H)	: About 70% or less of proper levels
	AUTO(M)	: About 50% or less of proper levels
	AUTO(L)	: About 30% or less of proper levels

2) Change is using the scale factor data of the amplification data or SENS UP of automatic gain control for the color image from a B/W image. AGC setting is “OFF” or SENS UP setting is “OFF” / ”MANU” are not able to use the “AUTO” setting of BW MODE.

About B/W mode

The camera CCD responds to infrared light (From 700nm to 1000nm) that is invisible to the human eye.

The normal color mode uses an IR cut filter to remove the infrared component.

Sensitivity is usually more important in the B/W mode. Therefore, the IR cut filter is removed to take advantage of sensitivity in the infrared region.

NOTE

1)In the case that near infrared lighting is used the hunting phenomenon causing repeated changes between the color and B/W mode may occur. Avoid strong near Infrared lighting when using the AUTO Mode.

2)When the mode is changed to a B/W image where there is no near infrared light a change in sensitivity does not occur.

3)The focus face of the lens differs in visible light (the color image) and near infrared (the B/W image).

The focus has deviated when the mode is changed to a B/W image even if the focus was set properly for the color image. Please use a lens having near infrared response when using the B/W mode.

4)“AGC LIMIT” binds B/W mode AUTO to (H) or (M) at the time of, “220” or more binding.
