Auto focus automatically back focuses the camera on the subject in the center of the scene. The camera will refocus when changes in the scene are detected.

The available auto focus settings are as follows:
Periodic Refocus: The camera is programmed to run a quick auto focus sequence every three hours to maintain optimal focus. This periodic focus sequence adjusts the center focal point of the scene to compensate for small focus changes caused by environmental temperature, camera vibration, or other conditions. The default setting for Periodic Refocus is On. Select Off to turn off Periodic Refocus.
Day/Night Switch Refocus: Available only with day/night cameras. When enabled (On) this setting refocuses the camera when the camera changes from day mode (color) to night mode
The default setting for the Day/Night Switch Refocus is Off. Select On if the camera’s focal length is greater than ~25 mm, or the night scene uses mostly IR lighting. The best method to determine if the day/night refocus should be enabled is to test the camera with the daytime light conditions, and then test it again with the nighttime light conditions.
