(7) White Balance (WHITE BAL)
1. Move the cursor to WHITE BAL, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select a white balance mode.
(1) Auto-Tracing White Balance Mode (ATW1/ATW2)
In this mode, the camera continually monitors
the color temperature of the light source and
automatically adjusts white balance.
The following are the approximate supported
color temperature ranges in this mode.
ATW1: 2,700 K to 6,000 K
ATW2: 2,000 K to 6,000 K (Mode recommended
for sodium lighting)
Proper white balance may not be possible under
the following conditions. In such cases, use the
AWC while balance mode.
•When the subject contains mostly dark colors
•When the light source is a deep blue sky or
twilight
•When illumination of the subject is low
(2) Auto-Tracing White Balance Control (AWC)
In this mode, the supported color temperature
range is approximately 2,000 K to 10,000 K. This
mode is best in locations where the light source
is constant.
(a) To select AWC, tilt the joystick left and select
AWC→PUSH SET.
(b) Press the CAM (SET) button to start white
balance adjustment. PUSH SET is highlighted
on the display while white balance adjustment is
being performed.
•PUSH SET becomes unhighlighted again when
white balance adjustment is complete. Tilt the
joystick right to display AWC.
•If white balance adjustment cannot be completed
for some reason, PUSH SET will remain
highlighted on the display. If this happens, it could
mean that the color temperature is outside the
supported range, or that illumination is too low.
2. Select ATW1, ATW2, and AWC, then press the CAM
(SET) button, either the ATW setting menu or the
AWC setting menu appears, and you can fine tune
the white balance.
Move the cursor to R or B, and then tilt the joystick left
or right to fine tune the level. The R is red and the B is
blue, moving in the + direction makes the colors
darker, moving in the - direction makes them lighter.
Note: White balance is adjusted in accordance with
on-screen color temperature, which the camera
detects automatically. Correct adjustment may not
be possible if a strong light source is shining on the
screen.
(8) Digital Noise Reduction (DNR)
1. Move the cursor to DNR, and then tilt the joystick
left or right to select a digital noise reduction (DNR)
setting.
LOW : Low DNR, Low afterimage
HIGH : High DNR, High afterimage
(9) Resolution (RESOLUTION)
1. Move the cursor to RESOLUTION, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select NORMAL or HIGH.
NORMAL: Sets horizontal resolution to a minimum
of 480 lines. (In color mode)
HIGH :Sets horizontal resolution to a minimum
of 520 lines. (In color mode)
(10) Black and White Mode (BW MODE)
Moving the cursor to BW MODE and pressing the CAM
(SET) button displays a BW MODE setting menu.
Use the BW MODE setting menu to configure black
and white mode settings.
1. Move the cursor to BW, and then tilt the joystick left
or right to select a black and white control setting.
AUTO: The camera automatically switches
between the color mode and the black and
white mode in accordance with picture
brightness (illuminance).
The black and white mode is selected
when lighting is low, while the color mode is
selected for bright lighting.
ON : Selects the black and white mode.
OFF : Selects the color mode.
Note: The above setting cannot be configured
when BW is selected for the ALARM IN 4 setting
(page 38).
2. If you selected AUTO in step 1, move the cursor to
LEVEL and then tilt the joystick left to select the
threshold illuminance level for switching between
the color mode and the black and white mode.
The illuminance shown below is based on the
assumption that the camera is used in an area lit by
halogen lamps, and that AGC on the menu is set to
MID.
LOW : Switches to the black and white mode when
illuminance around the camera is
approximately 1.5 lux{fc} or lower (when
AGC ON (MID), SENS UP OFF is set).
HIGH : Switches to the black and white mode when
illuminance around the camera is
approximately 3 lux{fc} or lower (when AGC
ON (MID), SENS UP OFF is set).
