Configure the B/W mode settings
Configure the settings relating to the B/W mode such as brightness at change between color and B/W, waiting time
to change to the B/W mode, etc. It is possible to avoid frequent switches between color and B/W by adjusting the
parameter of "LEVEL" and "DURATION TIME".
Step 1
Press the [SET] button after moving the cursor onto
"BW MODE" on the "CAMERA SETUP" page.
**BW MODE**
BW AUTO1
LEVEL HIGH
DURATION TIME . | ..

RET TOP END
→ The "BW MODE" page will be displayed.
Step 2
Move the cursor onto "BW" and select a parameter from
the following.
AUTO1: Images will be automatically switched between
color and B/W according to brightness (illumination).
When illuminance is low, images will be displayed in
B/W. When illuminance is high, images will be dis-
played in color.
AUTO2: Click this button when using the camera in the
nighttime with near-infra red rays as light source.
EXT: Images will be displayed in B/W by making
"DAY/NIGHT IN" terminal short-circuit.
ON: Images will be displayed in B/W.
OFF: Images will be displayed in color.
Default: OFF
Note:
When shooting a constantly moving subject or when
the screen is filled by similar colors, it may be diffi-
cult for the camera to judge where the light source
is, since light source is simplistatically detected
according to information from the CCD image sen-
sor.
When "AUTO2" is selected, wavelength of light
source should be 80 nm or more.

Step 3
Move the cursor onto "LEVEL" and select a parameter
from the following.
LOW: When illuminance around the camera is approx.
1 lx or less, images will be automatically displayed in
B/W.
HIGH: When illuminance around the camera is approx.
5 lx or less, images will be automatically displayed in
B/W.
Default: HIGH
Step 4
Move the cursor onto "DURATION TIME" and select a
parameter (wait time to switch between the color mode
and the B/W mode) from the following.
10 s - 30 s – 60 s – 300 s
(S) (L)
Default: 30 sec
Step 5
Move the cursor onto "BURST (BW)" and select "ON" or
"OFF" to determine whether or not to output burst sig-
nals when displaying images in B/W.
ON: Output burst signals
OFF: Does not output burst signals
Default: ON
Notes:
• Switching action between color and B/W (black and
white) cannot be performed unlimitedly due to the
durability of the parts used for this function (approx.
5 000 actions at maximum).
• It is also possible to make the camera to adjust the
flange-back length automatically to correct out-of-
focus which may be caused when switching
between the color image display and the BW image
display.
(☞ page 55)
• When displaying color images in B/W, images may
not be displayed correctly without burst signals
depending on a monitor or a VCR. In this case,
select "ON".
