When “On” is selected for “Auto slow shutter”, frame rate may become lower. Noise or white dots
(blemishes) may sometimes appear.

when the lighting condition becomes darker, while the color mode will automatically be selected when it
becomes brighter.
Auto2(IR Light): Suitable when using near-infrared light source at night.

condition.
The color mode will be carried on by the Super Chrome Compensation (SCC) function even under
illumination that is lower than Auto1(Normal).
Default: Auto1(Normal)
Super Chrome Compensation (SCC) function
This function achieves faithful color images using the proprietary color compensation technology that
reproduce images even under low illumination where it is usually difficult to capture objects faithfully.
Note
The operating sound might be heard when changing to black-and-white mode, however it does not
indicate any malfunction.
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 “Off” is selected for “Super
