Functions and set values
This function sets the colour modes to colour or B&W.
When switching the mode between "colour'' and "B&W"
is carried out, the focus may be dislocated. In such a case
adjust the focus again.
Switches the mode from colour to B&W and visa-versa.
OFF
: Turns the B&W mode switching function off.
ON
: Sets the camera permanently to B&W mode.
AUTO : The camera automatically switches to Colour
mode when the object is bright and B&W mode
when it is dark. (
AUX
: B&W/COLOUR switching is carried out
according to the signal input from the AUX
terminal. (
MEMO
• If AUTO is selected as the B&W item, the B&W/COLOUR
setting can be switched as appropriate according to the
brightness of the object, but illumination and screen
conditions may make this impossible. Moreover, when
you use infrared illumination, if the subject excessively
reflects, a B/W screen can switch to a color screen. To
make absolutely certain of B&W/COLOUR switching,
set to AUX and input the control signal to the AUX
terminal.
• If AUX is selected as the B&W item, the AUX TERMINAL
item is automatically set to B&W IN. If this changes to
anything other than AUX, the AUX TERMINAL item
reverts to the value set before the change was made.

NORMAL: Switches to B&W mode when the signal level of
the object indicates medium illumination.

MEMO
When the item "B&W" is set to other than AUTO, "- - -" is
displayed and the settings to the item "LEVEL" cannot be
