Note:
• With some monitors and VTR models, output of a
camera images in the black and white mode will
not display a proper image unless a burst signal is
provided. Select ON for this setting when using
equipment that requires a burst signal.

Auto Focus (AF MODE)
1. Move the cursor to AF MODE, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select an auto-focus mode
setting.
MANUAL S.M.L:
Auto focus does not operate after
moving to a preset position, when
PAN, TILT or ZOOM are used in
manual operation.
AUTO S.M.L :
Auto focus is used automatically
when PAN, TILT or ZOOM are
used in manual operation.
The letters S (Small), M (Medium), and L (Large)
indicate the size of the auto-focus sensing area.
The factory default setting is AUTO L.
Notes:
• Zooming up from WIDE can cause the image to
go out of focus.
• Auto-focus may not be possible with the types of
objects listed below. For such objects, focus
manually.
Example:
• Shiny or high intensity objects
• Objects shot through wet or dirty glass
• Pictures that are a mixture of distant and
nearby objects
• White walls and other single-color objects
• Venetian blinds and other vertically striped
objects
• Slanted objects
• Objects illuminated with low lighting
Auto-focus focuses on the object in the centre of
the picture, so objects around the outside
periphery of the picture will not be in focus.

Zoom Limit (ZOOM LIMIT)
1. Move the cursor to ZOOM LIMIT, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select a zoom limit setting.
When doing manual operation, zoom operation
cannot go beyond the zoom limit.
Optical zoom ranges from 1 to 36 magnifications,
while digital zoom is used for higher magnifications
(up to 720).
The factory default setting is x36 (36x optical
zoom).
2. If you selected AUTO in step 1, move the cursor to
LEVEL and then tilt the joystick left to select the
threshold illuminace level for switching between the
color mode and the black and white mode.
The illuminace shown below is based on the
assumption that the camera is used in an area lit by
halogen lamps, and that AGC on the menu is set to
MID.
LOW :
Switches to the black and white mode when
illuminance around the camera is approx.
1.5 lx or lower (when AGC ON (MID), SENS
UP OFF is set).
HIGH :
Switches to the black and white mode when
illuminance around the camera is approx. 3 lx
or lower (when AGC ON (MID), SENS UP
OFF is set).
The factory default setting is HIGH.
Note:
• To obtain color images, a sufficient level of
illuminance (approx. 30 lx or more) is required.
• The switching illuminance level varies with
subjects, light sources, and lenses.
• The switching illuminance level varies in
accordance with AGC setting (page 10).
• The switching illuminances described above are
reference values. The switching illuminance shall
be decided based on the actual installation
environment.
• When near-infrared lamps are used, the image may
be displayed out of focus and mode switching
may not perform automatically.
3. If you selected AUTO in step 1, move the cursor to
DURATION TIME and then tilt the joystick left to
select the time the camera should wait before
switching between the color mode and the black
and white mode after there is a change in the
illuminance level.
Available Settings :
2 s - 10 s - 30 s - 60 s
(S) (L)
Default Setting
:
10 s
Note:
• When AUTO is selected, switching between the
color mode and the balck and white mode is not
performed while pan, tilt, zoom, or focus is being
performed.
4. Move the cursor to BURST (BW), and then tilt the
joystick left or right to turn burst signal output on or
off.
This setting is for black and white mode display.
ON :
Turn on burst signal output.
OFF :
Turn off burst signal output.
The factory default setting is ON.
