How It Works: Autoframing
Autoframing is based on motion detection. It won't mistake pictures for people, it still works if you turn
away from the camera, and you don't have to wear a special device. Because there's no special device,
though, Autoframing does not necessarily keep the shot on its original subject.
n
The camera tries to keep the frame centered on the source of motion.
n
If the motion is small, the camera zooms in.
n
If the motion is mostly outside the field of view, the camera can only detect the small part of the motion
within its field of view.
n
If the motion is near the edge of the field of view, it can't be centered in the frame.
n
When the camera does not detect any motion, it zooms out.
In this diagram, the unmasked area represents the tracking area. The area of motion is large (which limits
the zoom) and the two people on the left are near the edge of the total field of view, so the camera cannot
pan far enough to center the people in the frame.
Autoframing is enabled by default.
