Day/Night Setting - Sanyo VCC-XZ400P Instruction Manual

DAY/NIGHT setting

The DAY/NIGHT mode can be set to one of three settings (AUTO, COLOR or B/W) to improve the
appearance of images. This lets you set the filming mode to color mode during times of normal
brightness, or to black & white mode to increase sensitivity when there is less light. When you select a
mode, you may then need to make detailed settings for the respective mode used.
Note:
When "COLOR" is selected, the mode is
fixed at color and you can only view images
that are in color. The same applies to B/W
mode. However, you can also use the
ALARM IN terminal on the rear panel to
force the mode to change from COLOR to
B/W or from B/W to COLOR. Refer to the
"COLOR (Color or Black/White selection
setting)" for details on the setting method.
(See p40)
A sound may be heard when the color image
or black and white image is switched. Also,
the image will be distorted as shown in
Fig. 1. This is normal and does not indicate
a problem.
