  | MEMO | 
  | |
  | 
  | • If AUTO is selected as the B&W item, the B&W/COLOUR  | 
  | |
  | 
  | setting can be switched as appropriate according to the  | 
  | |
  | 
  | brightness of the object, but illumination and screen  | 
  | |
  | 
  | conditions may make this impossible. Moreover, when  | 
  | |
  | 
  | you use infrared illumination, if the subject excessively  | 
  | |
  | 
  | reflects, a B/W screen can switch to a color screen. To  | 
  | |
  | 
  | make absolutely certain of B&W/COLOUR switching,  | 
  | |
  | 
  | set to AUX and input the control signal to the AUX  | 
  | |
  | 
  | terminal.  | 
  | |
  | 
  | • If AUX is selected as the B&W item, the AUX TERMINAL  | 
  | |
  | 
  | item is automatically set to B&W IN. If this changes to  | 
  | |
  | 
  | anything other than AUX, the AUX TERMINAL item  | 
  | |
  | 
  | reverts to the value set before the change was made.  |
