The color on the 
image is 
strange.

• The white balance is not set appropriately.

Adjust the white balance on the Camera page (see page 50 
of the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM).

• The color display setting on your PC is set lower than 16 bits.

Set the color display to 16 bits or higher.

The brightness 
of the displayed 
image is not 
stable (hunting 
phenomenon*).

• The brightness of the object changes suddenly. (e.g. when 

lighting is turned on in a dark area)

Adjust the brightness of the camera slightly by pressing "+" 
or "-" once.
*The hunting phenomenon is when the image lightens, then 
darkens, then lightens repeatedly, without stabilizing to a 
constant brightness.

The image 
contains 
interference or 
horizontal lines, 
or the image 
may be white.

• The camera transmits a dark scene.

Make the scene brighter. When the camera transmits a dark 
scene, the camera image may become white, or horizontal 
lines may be displayed on the screen. This is one of the 
characteristics of a CMOS sensor. This is not a malfunction.

• The AC Power Source Frequency setting is different from its 

value in your area.

Set the same value as in your area on the Setup page. See 
page 50 of the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM.

• The colors setting of the monitor is set to less than 16 bit high 

color.

Set it to 16 bit high color or greater.

An old image is 
displayed.

• Old images are temporarily stored on the web browser.

Set [Every visit to the page] on the web browser to check for 
temporary Internet files (see page 131 of the Operating 
Instructions on the CD-ROM).
