Buddy Cam In Color?

during a color change the buddy cam suddenly is on color now. Can we make this a permanent change?

This is due to the larger bright area on the print bed. You can achieve a similar effect by holding a white sheet of paper in front of the camera / in the print area, for example. I hope this will be fixed soon with a software update.

Crazy it's taking so long to implement a fix tbh.

Weirdly, my camera is now switching to colour whenever the LEDs aren't dimmed. Noticed it in the last hour. 
Still on firmware v3.0.4 so nothings updated (that im aware of)...I've never seen so much colour !

RE:

Cam is in colour when there is enough light. It's switching to black and white (infrared?) in low light conditions.

Yes I understand how cameras work, I was a CCTV engineer for 15 years 😂

My point was until yesterday it's just been stuck in b/w mode regardless of light condition... I wonder what changed.
