Note:
• When "Max.16/30s" is selected, for example, sensi-
tivity will automatically be increased up to x16.
When "Off" is selected for "AGC", this setting is
unavailable.
[Black & white mode]
Select switching between the color mode and the black
& white mode from the following.
Off: The color mode is selected.
On: The black & white mode is selected.
Auto1(Normal): The camera automatically switches
between the color mode and the black & white

nance). The black & white mode will automatically
be selected 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.
Auto3(Super Chrome Compensation(SCC)): Suitable
to keep the color mode even under darker light con-
dition.
The color mode will be carried on by the Super
Chrome Compensation (SCC) function even under
illumination that is lower than Auto 1.
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 faith-
fully.
Note:
• The operating sound might be heard when changing
to black-and-white mode, however it does not indi-
cate any malfunction.
• Since the color compensation technology is used
for Auto 3, 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 illumi-
nance levels are given when "Off" is selected for "Super
Dynamic(SD)".
• When "Black & white mode" is set to "Auto1" or
"Auto2"
High: Switches from the color mode to the black &
white mode when the ambient brightness (illumi-
nance) of the camera is approx. 6 lx or less.
Low: Switches from the color mode to the black &
white mode when the ambient brightness (illumi-
nance) of the camera is approx. 2 lx or less.
• When "Black & white mode" is set to "Auto3".
High: Carries on the color mode by activating the super
chroma compensation function when the ambient
brightness (illuminance) of the camera is approx. 6
