camera pan
Moves the camera horizontally.
Autoframing pauses when the camera receives this command.
The amount of pan available depends on the zoom level. A tight shot can move more than a wide one.
(See
How It Works: Digital Pan/Tilt/Zoom
.) If the camera is fully zoomed out, pan commands do not
result in a change, because there is no room to shift the shot.
The
camera pan set
command specifies where the shot is to be centered in terms of pixel column, not
angle. If the camera cannot center the shot on the specified column, it gets as close as possible
Example:
camera pan set 1536
specifies that the shot should center at the rightmost column of
pixels. This isn't possible, so the camera centers the shot as close to the rightmost column of pixels as
possible. No error is generated if the command specifies a pixel column that exists.
