Function & Setting This function sets which section of the object is to be displayed in the easiest-toview brightness level in the ExDR mode. To make a low-light section of the object easy to view: Increase the level. To make a highlighted section of the object easy to view: Decrease the level. Setting values: �5 to NORMAL to 5
Initial Value NORMAL
MEMO
� When the difference in brightness between objects is large, the picture may not change
even when the ExDR LEVEL is varied. This is due to the characteristics of the camera and is not a malfunction. � When the item �SHUTTER� is set to 1/250 or higher, �---� is displayed and the settings to the item �ExDR LEVEL� cannot be carried out. � When the item �ExDR MODE� is set to OFF, the settings for the item �ExDR LEVEL� cannot be varied.
B&W/COLOUR MODE ..
This function sets the color modes to color or B&W.
As the camera is sensitive to both visible and near-IR light in the B&W mode, there may be cases in which switching the color mode to the B&W mode causes the image to become out of focus in certain light source conditions. In this case, adjust the focus again in the B&W mode. Also, use an IR illumination as needed.

OFF
B&W
Switches the mode from color to B&W and vice-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 Color mode when the object is bright and to B&W mode when it is dark. ALARM IN 1 to 4 : The camera switches to B&W mode when there is an alarm input from terminals Alarm 1 to Alarm 4. The B&W mode is set to ON when the contact is shorted (makes contact) and OFF when the contact is opened (breaks contact).
MEMO
� To ensure switching between the color and B&W modes:
Setting item �B&W� to AUTO allows the color and B&W modes to be switched according to the brightness of the object. However, this switching may sometimes not occur depending on the lighting condition and viewing angle. To ensure the switching, it is recommended to connect the signal from an external sensor (to be purchased separately by the user) to one of the ALARM input terminals of the camera and perform switching according to the sensor signal. � In order to prevent hunting do not set the item �B&W� to AUTO when using an infrared lamp.
LEVEL
When the �B&W� function is set to �AUTO�, this function sets the signal level of the object at which the camera will automatically switch to B&W mode. LOW : The camera switches to B&W mode when the signal level of the object is low. NORMAL : The camera switches to B&W mode when the signal level of the object is normal. HIGH : The camera switches to B&W mode when the signal level of the object is high.
NORMAL
MEMO
When the item �B/W� is set to other than AUTO, �---� is displayed and the settings to the item �LEVEL� cannot be varied.
LIGHT TYPE
Use this function to set the type of light illuminating the object in the B&W mode. NORMAL : Setting for normal lighting. IR : Setting for using IR lighting.
NORMAL
MEMO
If the IR setting is used under ordinary sunlight or fluorescent light, the switching between the color and B&W modes will not be performed correctly.
