Panasonic WV-SP300 Series Security Camera User Manual


 
Since the color compensation technology is used for Auto3(Super Chrome Compensation(SCC)),
some colors may look different from the actual objects depending on the light condition.
[Level]
Select the threshold illuminance level (brightness) to switch between the color mode and the black & white
mode.
The descriptions about the following threshold illuminance levels are given when a 1.3 mega pixel setting is
selected for “Picture (Camera) mode” and “Off” is selected for “Super Dynamic(SD)”.
When “Day & Night(IR)” is set to “Auto1(Normal)” or “Auto2(IR Light)”
High: Switches from the color mode to the black & white mode when the ambient brightness (illuminance)
of the camera is approx. 6 lx or less.
Low: Switches from the color mode to the black & white mode when the ambient brightness (illuminance)
of the camera is approx. 2 lx or less.
When “Day & Night(IR)” is set to “Auto3(Super Chrome Compensation(SCC))”
High: Carries on the color mode by activating the super chroma compensation function when the ambient
brightness (illuminance) of the camera is approx. 6 lx or less.
When the color temperature of the object becomes approx. 3,500 K or lower, the color mode will be
switched to the black & white mode.
Low: Carries on the color mode by activating the super chroma compensation function when the ambient
brightness (illuminance) of the camera is approx. 2 lx or less.
When the color temperature of the object becomes approx. 3,500 K or lower, the color mode will be
switched to the black & white mode.

ATW1: Selects the automatic tracing white balance mode. The camera will constantly check the color
temperature of the light source and adjust the white balance automatically. Operating color temperature
range is approx. 2,700 K to 6,000 K.
ATW2: Selects the automatic tracing white balance mode under a sodium lamp. The camera will adjust
the white balance automatically under a sodium lamp. Operating color temperature range is approx. 2,000
K to 6,000 K.
AWC: Selects the automatic white balance control mode. This adjustment is suitable for a location where
