This function lets you select the colour or black-and-

or M.
AUTO1: The camera selects the black and white
mode if the picture is dark, or the colour mode
if the picture is bright enough.
AUTO2: Applying AUTO1 may cause malfunction
when using a source of near-infrared light at
night because the illuminance changes signifi-
cantly when switching between a colour pic-
ture and a black-and-white picture. This can
be prevented by using the AUTO2 setting to
detect the type of light source.

always be properly recognized. When

use a light source having a wavelength of
800 nm or more.
