Setting The Night Mode; Operating The External Device Output; Displaying Event Status - Canon VB-M700F Operation Manual

Example of Setting Method:
Irradiate a white subject (white paper, etc.) using the
light source and capture the subject over the entire
screen. In this condition, select [One-shot WB].
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 image is still not shown in appropriate colors
under mercury lamps when the [Mercury Lamp] mode is
selected under light source, use the [Auto] mode.
• 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, the image
may not be shown in appropriate colors.
• When the subject has only one color or when sodium lamps,
mercury lamps and certain other fluorescent lightings are
used, camera colors may not be adjusted automatically.
• When [Night Mode] is set (including when it is set to [Auto]
and night mode is judged to be applicable), the white
balance function cannot be used.

Setting the Night Mode

Switch between [Day Mode] and [Night Mode].
Note
The Night Mode cannot be used if [Auto] is set for day/night
under [Camera] on the Setting page (P. 5-10).
[Day Mode]
Color image can be viewed in the normal mode.
[Night Mode]
Images are shown in black and white, due to the
disabling of the infrared cut filter.
Note
Refer to the notes on P. 3-7 for focus ranges when [Night Mode]
is enabled (P. 5-10, P. 7-14).
