Default: OFF
AUTO1: The camera selects black and white mode

if the picture is dark, or colour mode if the pic-
ture is bright enough.
Note: Colour picture switches to black-and-

white picture and vice versa in approxi-
mately 1 or 2 minutes after recognition of
illuminance.

AUTO2: Applying AUTO1 may cause malfunction

when using a source of near-infrared light at
night because the illuminance changes signifi-
cantly when switching between the colour pic-
ture and the black-and-white picture. But
AUTO2 allows the unit to prevent malfunction
because it simply recognizes a source of light.
Note: Because a source of light is simply rec-

ognized based on the information from
CCD image pickup element, an object
sometimes can not be recognized suc-
cessfully when the object is always mov-
ing or the object and its background have
the same colour.
When you apply this mode, AUTO2, the
wavelength of the light source should be
800 nm or more.
