EXT : The interface to an external alarm enables an automatic switch between
DAY and NIGHT mode.
If you use an infrared light source while in AUTO mode, this may cause a failure in
AUTO SWITCH or AUTO FOCUS.
WHITE BAL
If you need to adjust the color according to the ambient illumination, you can use
the <
WHITE BAL
> function.
Illumination is generally referred to as color temperature, which is represented in a
measurement of kelvin (K). Color temperatures for ordinary lighting are as follows:
In the <
WHITE BAL
> menu, you
can set a mode for correcting the
<
WHITE BAL
>.
- ATW1,2 : If you set the <
WHITE
BAL
> menu to <
ATW1
> or
<
ATW2
> mode, this will monitor
the change of the color temperature
to correct the <
WHITE BAL
> as
needed.
The following color temperature
ranges are assured in individual
modes:
ATW1 : 2500K ~ 9300K (
1)
ATW2 : 2000K ~ 10000K
(suitable to sodium light source) (
2)
1 : With <
ATW1
> mode active in a color temperature environment ranging
beyond between 2500K and 9300K, a proper white balance value may not be
produced; if this is the case, you are recommended to use <
ATW2
> mode.
2 : With <
ATW2
> mode active in a mostly single color environment, the display
color and the actual one may differ; so select a mode as appropriate to your
color temperature environment.
