This function sets the colour modes to colour or B&W.
When switching the mode between “colour’’ and “B&W”
is carried out, the focus may be dislocated. In such a
case adjust the focus again.
Switches the mode from colour to B&W and visa-versa.
OFF : Turns the B&W mode switching function off.
ON : Sets the camera permanently to B&W mode.
AUTO : The camera automatically switches to Colour
mode when the object is bright and B&W mode
when it is dark. (੬ Page 40)
AUX:B&W/COLOUR switching is carried out
according to the signal input from the AUX
terminal. (੬ Page 41)
MEMO
• If AUTO is selected as the B&W item, the B&W/COLOUR
setting can be switched as appropriate according to the
brightness of the object, but illumination and screen
conditions may make this impossible. Moreover, when
you use infrared illumination, if the subject excessively
reflects, a B/W screen can switch to a color screen. To
make absolutely certain of B&W/COLOUR switching,
set to AUX and input the control signal to the AUX
terminal.
• If AUX is selected as the B&W item, the AUX TERMINAL
item is automatically set to B&W IN. If this changes to
anything other than AUX, the AUX TERMINAL item
reverts to the value set before the change was made.
(੬ Page 33.)
When the “B&W” function is set to “AUTO”, this function
sets the signal level of the object at which the camera will
automatically switch to B&W mode.
LOW : Switches to B&W mode when the signal level of
the object indicates low illumination.
NORMAL
: Switches to B&W mode when the signal level of
the object indicates medium illumination.
HIGH : Switches to B&W mode when the signal level of
the object indicates high illumination.
MEMO
When the item “B&W” is set to other than AUTO, “-- -” is
displayed and the settings to the item “LEVEL” cannot be
varied.
