AUTO :
Changes to the color image and B/W image
automatically according to brightness.
1) The character of the rest of “AUTO” is showing
the brightness (the image level) where the mode
changes from color to a B/W image.
AUTO(H) :
About 70% or less of proper levels
AUTO(M) :
About 50% or less of proper levels
AUTO(L) :
About 30% or less of proper levels
2) Change is using the scale factor data of the
amplification data or SENS UP of automatic gain
control for the color image from a B/W image.
AGC setting is “OFF” or SENS UP setting is
“OFF” / ”MANU” are not able to use the “AUTO”
setting of BW MODE.
About B/W mode
The camera CCD responds to infrared light (From 700nm
to 1000nm) that is invisible to the human eye.
The normal color mode uses an IR cut filter to remove the
infrared component.
Sensitivity is usually more important in the B/W mode.
Therefore, the IR cut filter is removed to take advantage of
sensitivity in the infrared region.
NOTE
1) In the case that near infrared lighting is used the
hunting phenomenon causing repeated changes
between the color and B/W mode may occur. Avoid
strong near Infrared lighting when using the AUTO
Mode.
2) When the mode is changed to a B/W image where
there is no near infrared light a change in sensitivity
does not occur.
3) The focus face of the lens differs in visible light (the
color image) and near infrared (the B/W image).
The focus has deviated when the mode is changed
to a B/W image even if the focus was set properly for
the color image. Please use a lens having near
infrared response when using the B/W mode.
4) “AGC LIMIT” binds B/W mode AUTO to (H) or (M) at
the time of, “220” or more binding.

ATW (auto tracking white balance)
Ordinarily use this mode, which is suitable for lighting
color temperature from 2,500K to 8,000K.
Setting ATW Range (Color temperature flattery range)
1) Use the UP and DOWN buttons to shift the cursor to
“ATW RANGE”.
2) Press the SET button to shift the mode in the sequence
“NORMAL”, “SPECIAL”. Factory setting is “NORMAL”.
NORMAL :
From 2,500K to 8,000K
SPECAIL :
From 2,500K to 8,000K, and special
lighting such as the mercury lamp and
sodium vapor lamp
Setting White Balance mode
1) Press the SET button for longer than 2 seconds to display
the “MAIN MENU”.
2) Use the UP and DOWN buttons to shift the cursor to
“WHITE BALANCE”, then press the SET button to display
the “WHITE BALANCE MENU”. But, it does not move to
“WHITE BALANCE MENU” at the time of B/W image
condition by B/W MODE setting.
3) While the cursor is at “MODE”, press the SET button to shift
the mode in the sequence “ATW”, “AWC” and “MANUAL”.
Factory setting is “ATW”.

NOTE
1) Please set “ATW RANGE” to the “SPECIAL” mode
when you use sodium lighting. The color
distinction becomes possible though the white
balance may not be completely suitable.
2) White balance cannot be fully adjusted in the
following situations.
･
Most of the scene is a single color or there is very
little white component.
･
Background is red or blue.
