Controlling the Zoom 

Setting 

Zoom stop settings define how the zoom function is 
partitioned. Depending on the current zoom level, 
the camera will either stop at the first zoom stop 
setting or continue to the maximum zoom setting. 
For SpeedDome Optima, the first zoom stop 
setting is 22X (maximum optical zoom). The 
maximum zoom is 242X (maximum digital zoom). 

To switch between optical and digital zoom levels, 
press the 

Zoom In 

(Zoom Tele) button until the first 

zoom stop is reached. Release the button for at 
least one second and press 

Zoom In

 again to 

continue into the digital zoom range. Zooming 
stops when the maximum zoom is reached.  

Refer to your controller instructions for information 
about the location of the zoom control buttons.
