Take your remote and click the HOME button, now place the pointer on Settings and click the middle button on your remote, then place the pointer on PICTURE and click the middle button, now put the pointer on Energy Saving then click the middle button. Now click on Off to turn Energy Saving off. That should do it.

Only time I've seen black and white pictures on mine is when gets dark I think it's in night mode or low light mode

the recorded video and the on-screen stream are affected by the degree of light exposure. Not only the brightness degree but also affect the colours.

During daylight hours the picture does diminish somewhat. When direct light hits the screen there is glare from the light. I am able to watch TV without a problem with natural light in the room.

Re: I forgot to tell you that items are not infra red. So at night you can't see anything. But at night, don't open your door to anyone..Anyway, I have a light which is near the camera, and enlightens automatically.

Hi Mikieb: I'm sorry to tell you mine is the same during the daytime. I have not been able to adjust. It does show objects very well at night but during the daytime the only colors i can pick up are red, green and black. The other colors are distingueshed better than the black and white cameras, but not like watching tv. I havent been able to adjust for a clear color.

Yes, images are quite clear and bright even in nearly total darkness. However, don't expect to see natural colors low-light conditions... at night the images are more black & white in tone.

If pictures are taken in day light they are in color, but night pictures are in black and white.

There is no light that projects from the camera, but you can see at night. At night the picture is black and white due to not having the lights. During the day the picture is in color. There is a small green light to let you know the camera is on. I have three of the cameras in different areas and love them.

It does not provide great images in the dark. It is actually overly plagued with noise. I returned mine yesterday after a week.

You will have to try different light etc. I do not know about low light or nights. During daylight it works just fine

There are small infrared lights for night time vision. It's not too bright but bright enough for the camera

It has no special light settings, but I used it on a dark overcast day and the images came out great. I have not used it at night, but I would guess that it would be equal to an average photo camera.

That's a loaded question, the camera in order to view any image at night uses infrared lighting and so the image is not in color. But during the day yes it is color images you will see.

Hi Nolan, this Sony HDRCX900/B has a Night Shot feature which emits infrared light to take images on a total darkness. -Ely

You monitor videos during the daylight hours are in color and night vision is black and white or more of a photo negative effect. Both are very nice for viewing.

In infrared only, not visible light. Night pictures will be recorded in black and white.
