Setting the Night Mode
Switch between [Day Mode] and [Night Mode].
Note
The Night Mode cannot be used if [Auto] is set for day/night
under [Camera] on the Setting page (P. 4-11).
[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 notes on P. 4-10 for focus ranges when the [Night
Mode] is enabled (P. 4-11, P. 6-15).
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
Displaying Event Status
Clicking the [Event Display] button will show the event
display panel, which shows the input status of external
devices, as well as the status of image and volume
detection by the intelligent function.
1 [External Device Input]
When a contact input signal is received from an
external device, input will be turned ON and an icon
will be displayed.
Example:
Input1: input OFF
Input2: input 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 the [Auto] mode.
• 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, the image
may not be shown in appropriate colors.
In this case, adjusting the image captured via operations
such as pan, tilt and zoom will correct this problem.
• When the subject has only one color or when sodium lamps,
mercury lamps and certain other fluorescent lightings are
used, camera colors may not be adjusted automatically.
• When the [Night Mode] is set to [Night Mode] (including
when it is set to [Auto] and night mode is judged to be
applicable), the white balance function cannot be used.
