halogen lamps, and that AGC on the menu is set to
MID.
LOW : Switches to the black and white mode when
illuminance around the camera is approx.
1.5lxor lower (when AGCON(MID),SENS
UPOFFisset).
HIGH : Switches to the black and white mode when
illuminancearoundthecameraisapprox.3lx
or lower (when AGC ON (MID), SENS UP
OFFisset).
The factory default setting is HIGH.
