Default Why E510 Liveview in black & white

I noticed that in certain lighting condition especially yellow lights, my E510 LCD images on liveview appears black & white color, very unpredictable. Any reason

Example when pointing at small incandescent light, Liveview turn B/W. One moment in color, next moment B/W. If the night road is only illuminated with rows of orange street light, changes to B/W.

So far non has happened with white lighting.

Firmware is latest.

It is because of the Live View Boost. When surroundings are dark, it will turn B&W, for easier viewing. Please read the instruction manual.

If live boast wasn't on you'll prob see only black

So B&W is better then none isn't it?
