3. Move the cursor to MASK SET and press I(S). MASK SET lets you set 48 mask areas. To set MASK SET, proceed as described in steps 2 to 4 of �ALC mode with SUPER-D2 OFF�. 4. Move the cursor to ALARM and select ON or OFF to set the alarm for DISPLAY MODE. Note: When using the WV-RM70, WV-CU550C series, WV-CU161C or WV-CU360C controller with this model, select OFF for ALARM. 5. Move the cursor to DISPLAY MODE and press I(S) to see the current setting. The masks that detect the brightness changes start blinking. 6. To raise detection sensitivity, press I(S) to return to the MOTION DETECT menu. 7. To obtain the optimum detection level, move the �I� cursor to adjust the level. 8. Repeat the procedures above to obtain a satisfactory setting. Notes: � Masking or adjusting the detection level is needed to prevent malfunction under the following conditions: � When shooting an object under flickering fluorescent light. � When leaves or curtains etc. are swayed by the wind. � When the object is lighted by lighting equipment that constantly turns on and off. � It takes about 0.2 seconds for the alarm signal to reach the alarm terminal of the VCR after the camera detects the object. Because the alarm signal is multiplexed on the video signal, it may be mistakenly interpreted by other video equipment as a time code signal. Therefore, when the camera is not used in a Panasonic Intelligent CCTV System, select OFF to prevent the above from occurring. � The camera will deactivate the detector for a few minutes after the power of the camera is turned on or the BW setting in the Special Menu is set to something other than OFF. � The motion detection function is not designed specifically for prevention of theft, fire, etc.

light at night because the illuminance changes significantly when switching between the color picture and a black-and-white picture. This can be prevented by using the AUTO2 setting to detect the type of light source. Notes: � Because the type of light source is detected based on information received from the CCD image pickup element, an object that is constantly moving or has the same color as its background may not always be properly recognized. When choosing the AUTO2 mode, make sure to use a light source having a wavelength of 800 nm or more. � The object may be out of focus when using a source of near-infrared light than using the visible light.

Select HIGH or LOW for the threshold level at which the camera automatically switches to BW or color mode. Default: HIGH The illuminance shown below is based on the assumption that the camera is used in an area lit by halogen lamps, and that AGC on the menu is set to MID. Note: When near-infrared lamps are used, the image may be displayed out of focus and mode switching may not perform automatically. 4. Move the I cursor to set DURATION TIME. Default: 30 seconds The camera determines whether to switch the mode when the time set for holding a picture motionless on the screen has elapsed. Available duration times: (S) 10 s � 30 s � 60 s � 300 s (L)
