ON:
Displays black-and-white images.
OFF (default):
Displays color images.
Note:
If a photographic subject is always mov-
ing or the screen is occupied with a uni-
form color, brightness determination may
be not performed successfully because
the brightness is merely determined by
information from the CCD image sensor.
When "AUTO2" is selected, the wave
length of the light source shall be 800 nm
or longer.
Step 3
Move the cursor to "LEVEL" and select a
brightness level at which switching between
color and black-and-white images is per-
formed from the following:
LOW:
Switches from color to black-and-white
images when the ambient brightness
(illuminance) of the camera is approx.
0.1 lx or less. (when the AGC MAX level
is set to the top end.)
HIGH (default):
Switches from color to black-
and-white images when the ambient
brightness (illuminance) of the camera is
approx. 0.2 lx or less. (when the AGC
MAX level is set to the top end.)
Step 4
Move the cursor to "DURATION TIME" and
select a time for switching between color and
black-and-white images from the following:
(Default: 30 seconds)
10 sec.- 30 sec.- 60 sec.- 300 sec.
(S)
(L)
Step 5
Move the cursor to "BURST (BW)", and
decide whether or not to provide a burst sig-
nal output in the black-and-white mode with
use of "ON" or "OFF".
ON (default):
Provides a burst signal output.
OFF:
Does not provide any burst signal out-
put.
Notes:
• The auto back focus function also allows
users to correct out of focus when
changing between color and black-and-
white images. (

page 45)
• Images may not be displayed appropri-
ately without burst signals when camera
images are displayed in the black-and-
white mode depending on a monitor or
VCR model to be used. In such a case,
set the burst signal output to "ON".
