IMPORTANT
•
With 30fps mode selected for [Image capture mode], if “Auto focus” is executed during slow shutter
operation at night while a value longer interval than “Max. 1/30s” (Max. 2/30s, Max. 4/30s, Max. 6/30s,
Max. 10/30s, or Max. 16/30s) is selected for “Maximum shutter”, completing auto focus may take a
long time.
•
With 25fps mode selected for [Image capture mode], if “Auto focus” is executed during slow shutter
operation at night while a value longer interval than “Max. 1/25s” (Max. 2/25s, Max. 4/25s, Max. 6/25s,
Max. 10/25s, or Max. 16/25s) is selected for “Maximum shutter”, completing auto focus may take a
long time.
•
In the following locations or with the following subjects, the focus may not be able to be automatically
adjusted. In this case, manually adjust the focus.
–
when the subject moves a lot
–
when there are large changes to the lighting intensity
–
when the light level is low
–
when the subject or location is extremely bright or reflective
–
when viewing through windows
–
when the dome cover is in a location where it can easily become dirty
–
locations where there is not much contrast such as a white wall
–
when there is harsh flickering
•
When images in the near-infrared light area change from color to black & white, images may be out of
focus due to the nature of optical properties. In this case, the focus can automatically be corrected by
selecting “Auto” or “Preset” for “Adjusting method” (the focus will not automatically be adjusted
according to the illumination level change once the focus is corrected).
[Adjusting method]
Select the focus adjustment method upon switching between the color mode and the black & white mode.

Auto:
When color/BW of an image on which the final focus adjustment is performed is switched, the focus
will automatically be adjusted. When switched back to the previous color/BW, the focus position will return
to the position determined when the final focus adjustment was performed. If the focus of an image could
not be adjusted as a black & white image, the image may be readjusted as a color image and then switched
again to a black & white image.
