HAF
(Half-auto Focus): The camera automatically focuses once after panning, tilting and zooming.
•
FOCUS LIMIT
: This function is used to limit the minimum focus distance. You can configure the focus limit to a longer distance
when the target is at a distance to prevent the camera from focusing on the objects close to it; or configure the focus limit to a
shorter distance when the target is near the camera to prevent it from focusing on objects father away. You can set the
FOCUS
LIMIT
to 1CM, 30CM, 1M, 3M, 5M or AUTO.

•
GAIN LIMIT
: You can set this function to limit the gain value. The GAIN LIMIT value ranges from 0 to 15.
•
HLC
: High Light Compensation (HLC) masks strong light sources that usually flare across a scene. This makes it possible to see
the detail of the image that would normally be hidden. The value ranges from 0 to 3.
•
INIT LENS
: Use INIT LENS to trigger a spontaneous lens initiation for ensuring the normal operation. This option can be ON or
OFF.
•
IRIS
: To adjust the iris size for light entering the lens, you can set the IRIS value manually according to light conditions. The iris
value ranges from 0 (closed) to 17 (fully open).

details. You can set the SHARPNESS level from 0 to 15.
•
SHUTTER
(speed): If you set the SHUTTER value larger, the shutter speed is faster. The value indicates the inverse of the shutter
speed (1/value seconds). At faster speeds, the amount of light entering the lens is less causing the image to be darker, but
motion blur is less. You can set the shutter value to 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 50, 125, 180, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 or 10000.
