9. Digital Noise Reduction Setting (DNR)

Select a "DNR" mode suitable to the camera site conditions. The default setting is "HIGH".

HIGH: Greatly reduces noise, though it produces afterimages when objects move.

LOW: Slightly reduces noise, and produces less afterimages.

10. Resolution Setting (RESOLUTION)

Select a horizontal resolution mode. The default setting is "HIGH". NORMAL: Resolves more than 480 TV lines.

HIGH: Resolves typically 540 TV lines, though noise may increase when "SENSE UP" is activated in low lighting conditions.

11. Black and White Mode Setting (BW MODE)

1.Select "BW MODE" on the "CAMERA SETUP" menu and press the [SET] button.

→The "BW MODE" menu opens.

AUTO1: Sets the mode to black-and-white if the picture is dark or to color if the picture is bright enough.

AUTO2: Functions the same as "AUTO1", except this is applied to the use near infrared light. (wavelength ≥ 800 nm).

ON: Sets the mode to black-and-white.

OFF: Sets the mode to color.

Notes:

•There may be cases where "AUTO1" or "AUTO2" does not function well if the camera is aimed at subjects continuously moving or a scene filled with a single color such as a blue sky.

•It is possible to set up the back-focus mode to compensate for defocus liable to happen when the camera automatically switches between the color and black-and-white modes. Refer to page 31. Back-focus Setting for details.
