BW Setting
1. Move the cursor to BW and select AUTO1, 2,
ON or OFF using
I
(L) or
I
(R). Factory
default setting: OFF.
AUTO1:
The camera selects black and white
mode if the picture is dark, or color mode if
the picture is bright enough.
AUTO2:
Applying AUTO1 may cause malfunc-
tion when using a source of near-infrared
light at night because the illuminance
changes significantly when switching
between the color picture and a black-and-white picture. This can be prevented by using
the AUTO2 setting to detect the type of light source.
Notes:
• 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 color
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.
• The object may be out of focus when using a source of near-infrared light than using
the visible light.
ON:
The black and white mode is selected.
OFF:
The color mode is selected.
2. If you have selected AUTO1, 2 the LEVEL and the DURATION TIME appear on the menu.
3. Select HIGH or LOW for the threshold level at which the camera automatically switches to BW
or color mode. Default: HIGH
The illuminance shown below is based on the assumption that the camera is used in an area lit
by halogen lamps, and that AGC on the menu is set to MID.
Note:
When near-infrared lamps are used, the image may be displayed out of focus and mode
switching may not perform automatically.
4. Move the I cursor to set DURATION TIME. Default: 30 seconds
The camera determines whether to switch the mode when the time set for holding a picture
motionless on the screen has elapsed.

I
(S) to see the current setting. The masks
that detect the brightness changes start blinking.
6. To raise detection sensitivity, press
I
(S) to return to the MOTION DETECT menu.
7. To obtain the optimum detection level, move the “I” cursor to adjust the level.
8. Repeat the procedures above to obtain a satisfactory setting.
Notes:
• Masking or adjusting the detection level is needed to prevent malfunction under the following
conditions:
• When shooting an object under flickering fluorescent light.
• When leaves or curtains etc. are swayed by the wind.
• When the object is lighted by lighting equipment that constantly turns on and off.
• It takes about 0.2 seconds for the alarm signal to reach the alarm terminal of the VCR after the
camera detects the object.
Because the alarm signal is multiplexed on the video signal, it may be mistakenly interpreted
by other video equipment as a time code signal.
Therefore, when the camera is not used in a Panasonic Intelligent CCTV System, select OFF to
prevent the above from occurring.
• The camera will deactivate the detector for a few minutes after the power of the camera is
turned on or the BW setting in the Special Menu is set to something other than OFF.
• The motion detection function is not designed specifically for prevention of theft, fire, etc.
