If the [B/W Mode] item is set to AAuto Low, Auto Mid, Auto HighB, the

 

 

 

B&W/Color setting can be switched according to the brightness of the

 

 

 

object, but the condition of illumination and field angle may make this

 

 

 

impossible. To be absolutely certain of B&W/Color switching,

 

 

 

connecting external sensor to alarm input cable of this camera and

 

 

 

setting alarm action of B&W mode is recommended.
