(11) 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 :
Activates auto-focus when the AF
button on the system controller is
pressed.
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:
• The AUTO (S.M.L.) setting can be selected only
when OFF, x2 FIX or x2 AUTO is selected for the
electronic sensitivity enhancement (SENS UP).
Any other SENS UP setting causes MANUAL
(S.M.L.) to be selected automatically for the
auto-focus mode (AUTO).
• 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-colour 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.
(12) 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 30 magnifications,
while digital zoom is used for higher magnifications
(up to 300).
The factory default setting is x30 (30x optical
zoom).
Notes:
• If zoom limit is set to more than 30x, then zoom
operation pauses at 30x magnification.
• Increasing the zoom to over 30x magnification
(digital zoom) decreases the resolution.
• You cannot set a zoom magnification of greater
than 30x as a preset position.
(13) Auto Image Stabilizer (STABILIZER)
This function electronically compensates for an
unstable camera image due to movement of a
mounting pole or bracket.
1. Move the cursor to STABILIZER, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to turn the stabilizer on or off.
The default setting is OFF.
ON :
Automatically compensates for an unstable
image.
OFF:
Image stabilizer will not operate. This is the
factory default setting.
Notes:
• The stabilizer may not be effective for the
following subjects.
Example: • Objects illuminated with low lighting
• Single-colour objects (white walls etc)
• Fast moving periodic action, such as mechani-
cal vibration, may not be tracked.
• The stabilizer does not work during PAN/
TILT/ZOOM/FOCUS or when the camera setup
menu is open.
• When set to ON, some effective pixels on the
edge of the CCD are used by the stabilization
function. This may result in a small reduction in
resolution and a narrower angle of view. After
activating the image stabilizer function, check
that the field of view is correct.
• Image stabilization may not function where there
is excessive camera movement or when the
scene is low light or low contrast objects.
