Setting White Balance
(1) [Auto]
The white balance is adjusted automatically.
(2) [Light Source]
Select the light source from the pull-down menu below
according to the condition in which the camera is
used.
For an explanation on each item set in [Light Source],
see [White Balance] in the Setting page (p. 5-10).
(3) [Lock]
The white balance is fixed to that of the video currently
received.
To forcibly fix the white balance according to the light
source, use [One-shot WB].
Example of Setting Method:
Irradiate a white subject (white paper, etc.) using the
light source and capture the subject over the entire
screen. In this condition, select [One-shot WB].
Setting the Night Mode
Note
The Night Mode cannot be used if [Auto] is set for day/night
under [Camera] on the Setting page (p. 5-11).
[Day Mode]
Color image can be viewed in the normal mode.
[Night Mode]
Images are shown in black and white, due to the
disabling of the infrared cut filter.
Note
• Refer to the following for focus ranges when Day/Night is
enabled.
Notes on p. 3-8
Notes on p. 5-10
• The Camera Angle Setting Tool allows you to
select the focus control method used when switching Day/
Night Mode to suit the lighting environment the camera is
being used under (p. 3-9).
Operating the External Device Output
You can operate the external device output and display
the current output status using an icon. The [ON]/[OFF]
status can be switched by clicking this icon.
Example:
Output1: Output OFF
Output2: Output ON
Important
• Since the light source selection options are based on
representative characteristics, proper colors may not be
achieved depending on the applicable light source. In this
case, use the [One-shot WB] function.
• If the subject looks greenish under mercury lamps in the
[Auto] mode, select the [Mercury Lamp] mode under light
source. If the image is still not shown in appropriate colors
under mercury lamps when the [Mercury Lamp] mode is
selected under light source, use [One-shot WB].
• When the subject has only one color, under low light
conditions, or when sodium lamps, mercury lamps or certain
other fluorescent lighting is used, colors may not be adjusted
automatically.

• When [Night Mode] is set (including when it is set to [Auto]
and night mode is judged to be applicable), the white
balance function cannot be used.
• Notes on capturing video continuously day and night
If a subject that seldom changes is captured in a location
where the light source changes gradually, such as when
capturing a subject continuously day and night, appropriate
colors may not be achieved.
In the above case, applying changes to the image to capture
will achieve the appropriate colors.
