10-5. BW

This function lets you select the colour or black-and- white mode.

1.Move the cursor to BW.

2.Select AUTO1, AUTO2, EXT, ON or OFF using L or M.

AUTO1: The camera selects the black and white mode if the picture is dark, or the colour mode if the picture is bright enough.

AUTO2: Applying AUTO1 may cause malfunction when using a source of near-infrared light at night because the illuminance changes signifi- cantly when switching between a colour pic-

ture and a black-and-white picture. This can be prevented by using the AUTO2 setting to detect the type of light source.

Note: Because the type of light source is detected based on information received from the CCD image pickup element, an object that is constantly moving or has the same colour as its background may not always be properly recognized. When choosing the AUTO2 mode, make sure to use a light source having a wavelength of 800 nm or more.

EXT: Colour picture reverts to black-and-white pic- ture when an external day/night switching sig- nal is received (refer to alarm connections).

ON: Black-and-white mode enabled.

OFF: Colour mode enabled.

The factory default setting is OFF.

3.The AUTO1 or AUTO2 menu appears on the moni- tor screen when selected.
