White balance
When the camera detects the color temperature of the incoming light, it can adjust the image to make the colors look more
natural. If this is not sufficient, you can select a suitable light source from the list.
The automatic white balance setting reduces the risk of color flicker by adapting to changes gradually. If the lighting changes, or
when the camera is first started, it can take up to 30 seconds to adapt to the new light source. If there is more than one type
of light source in a scene, that is they differ in color temperature, the dominating light source acts as a reference for the
automatic white balance algorithm. This behavior can be overridden by choosing a fixed white balance setting that matches
the light source you want to use as a reference.
Light environment:
• Automatic: Automatic identification and compensation for the light source color. This is the recommended setting
which can be used in most situations.
• Automatic – outdoors
recommended setting which can be used in most outdoor situations.
• Custom – indoors
and good for a normal color temperature around 2800 K.
• Custom – outdoors
5500 K.
• Fixed – fluorescent 1: Fixed color adjustment for fluorescent lighting with a color temperature around 4000 K.
• Fixed – fluorescent 2: Fixed color adjustment for fluorescent lighting with a color temperature around 3000 K.
• Fixed – indoors: Fixed color adjustment for a room with some artificial light other than fluorescent lighting and
good for a normal color temperature around 2800 K.

Day-night mode
IR-cut filter:
• Auto: Select to automatically turn on and off the IR-cut filter. When the camera is in day mode, the IR-cut filter
is turned on and blocks incoming infrared light, and when in night mode, the IR-cut filter is turned off and the
camera's light sensitivity increases.
• On: Select to turn on the IR-cut filter. The image is in color, but with reduced light sensitivity.
• Off: Select to turn off the IR-cut filter. The image is in black and white for increased light sensitivity.
Threshold: Use the slider to adjust the light threshold where the camera changes from day mode to night mode.
• Move the slider towards Bright to decrease the threshold for the IR-cut filter. The camera changes to night mode
earlier.
• Move the slider towards Dark to increase the threshold for the IR-cut filter. The camera changes to night mode later.
