the following order.
SET button: OFF→ON→AUTO(H)→AUTO(M)→AUTO(L)
OFF : Color always mode; factory setting.
ON : B/W always mode
Raising sensitivity by color-B/W selection
[Only KP-DE500 type]
NOTE
1) Enhanced sensitivity can cause blurring of moving
images.
2) In the following types of cases, reduce the sensitivity
multiple.
・ Noise increases at high sensitivity and further
increases at high frequency.
・ The Shutter speed cannot be changed during
Auto and Manual SENS UP settings. Temporarily
set SENS UP to OFF when changing the Shutter
speed.
・ White flaws may become apparent at high
sensitivity, but these are not due to malfunction.
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.
