Cropping
When the image size is set to

, you can
crop a portion of the image and display the cropped
image on the computer. Cropping reduces the
transmitting data size and thus the network load, and a
higher frame rate is achieved.
Select
On
to crop the image, or

.
Note
Object detection (page 69) operates for an image in the
image size that is not cropped even if
