Configure the B/W mode settings Configure the settings relating to the B/W mode such as brightness at change between color and B/W, waiting time to change to the B/W mode, etc. It is possible to avoid frequent switches between color and B/W by adjusting the parameter of "LEVEL" and "DURATION TIME". Step 1 Press the [SET] button after moving the cursor onto "BW MODE" on the "CAMERA SETUP" page. **BW MODE** BW AUTO1 LEVEL HIGH DURATION TIME .|.. S L BURST(BW) OFF RET TOP END Step 3 Move the cursor onto "LEVEL" and select a parameter from the following. LOW: When illuminance around the camera is approx. 1 lx or less, images will be automatically displayed in B/W. HIGH: When illuminance around the camera is approx. 5 lx or less, images will be automatically displayed in B/W. Default: HIGH → The "BW MODE" page will be displayed. Step 2 Move the cursor onto "BW" and select a parameter from the following. AUTO1: Images will be automatically switched between color and B/W according to brightness (illumination). When illuminance is low, images will be displayed in B/W. When illuminance is high, images will be displayed in color. AUTO2: Click this button when using the camera in the nighttime with near-infra red rays as light source. EXT: Images will be displayed in B/W by making "DAY/NIGHT IN" terminal short-circuit. ON: Images will be displayed in B/W. OFF: Images will be displayed in color. Default: OFF Note: When shooting a constantly moving subject or when the screen is filled by similar colors, it may be difficult for the camera to judge where the light source is, since light source is simplistatically detected according to information from the CCD image sensor. When "AUTO2" is selected, wavelength of light source should be 80 nm or more. Step 4 Move the cursor onto "DURATION TIME" and select a parameter (wait time to switch between the color mode and the B/W mode) from the following. 10 s - 30 s - 60 s - 300 s (S) (L) Default: 30 sec Step 5 Move the cursor onto "BURST (BW)" and select "ON" or "OFF" to determine whether or not to output burst signals when displaying images in B/W. ON: Output burst signals OFF: Does not output burst signals Default: ON Notes: • Switching action between color and B/W (black and white) cannot be performed unlimitedly due to the durability of the parts used for this function (approx. 5 000 actions at maximum). • It is also possible to make the camera to adjust the flange-back length automatically to correct out-offocus which may be caused when switching between the color image display and the BW image display. (☞ page 55) • When displaying color images in B/W, images may not be displayed correctly without burst signals depending on a monitor or a VCR. In this case, select "ON". 62
