Media > Image
After a short while, the clearest image obtained should be displayed and the optimal focus range
achieved. Use the arrow marks on the sides to fine-tune the focus if you are not satisfied with the results.
You may still need to use the arrow marks to fine-tune the focus depending on the live image on your
screen. “>” means moving from wide to tele end; and “<” tele to wide.
The methodology of using the Resize Buttons at the upper left corner of the streaming window is the
same as that on the home page.
Focus Window
By default, the optimal focus is found on a full view window. You may designate a custom window
within your current field of view to acquire the best focus out of it. However, you can not place a focus
window on a distant background, for example, a hall way that stretches away for 3 meters or farther.
Doing so you will not benefit from the Focus window function.
•
Full view—The focus tuning takes place by referring to the full view.
•
Custom—You can create a focus window and drag it to a place of interest in your view window. It
is recommended to use this function only when you have a solid object in your view window that is
showing a consistent color or texture.
This function will not take effect if you set the focus window on a distant background. You can try
the Snapshot focus function (in Applications > Package management) when applied in the above
mentioned scenario.
