Admin Viewer/VB Viewer 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 video 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, illumination is low, or when sodium lamps, mercury lamps and certain other fluorescent lighting are used, colors may not be adjusted appropriately. • When [Day/Night] 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. • 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 video to capture will achieve the appropriate colors. „ Setting the Day/Night Mode (1) (2) (3) „ Selecting the External Device Output You can control external device output and display the current output status using an icon.
