Using autoFIND and Tracking Freeze
Tracking Freeze
While in the autoTRACK mode, the presenter can stop or
freeze
the camera’s movement by
pressing
TRACKING FREEZE
.
By pressing
TRACKING FREEZE
, the autoTRACK mode will disengage.
You may want to use this feature when making a presentation in front of a flipchart. You may
be offset to the right or left autoTRACK View and be making notes on the flipchart.
Now you can press
TRACKING FREEZE
and walk away from the flipchart while still speaking.
This enables the camera to freeze and lock on the flipchart so that people attending the
videoconference or viewing the videotape can continue to study it while you are no longer in
the video frame.
To reactivate the autoTRACK mode, simply press any of the four
autoTRACK View
buttons. This engages the autoFIND mode. When you are within the field-of-view,
CameraMan locks onto line-of-sight tracking in the view selected.
