Lens Settings

These settings control how the lens in the Sentinel Camera behaves during normal use.

·Digital ZOOM: The camera uses digital zoom (10X) after reaching the maximum optical zoom level (22X). Digital zoom produces a slightly less clear picture than optical, and can be turned off.

·ZOOM Speed: Controls how quickly the camera zooms in.

·ZOOM Type: Choose WIDE or TELE.

·Focus Speed: Controls how quickly the camera focuses.

·Focus: Choose between Auto (automatic continuous) and Manual focus (the default setting). If using Manual Focus you can select a long focal length (INF, or infinite) to allow the camera to focus on objects any distance away, or a short focal length (NEAR) if you are using the camera only to view objects relatively close. In Manual mode the camera will set focus automatically after a zoom in or out. If you select Auto, you can use the automatic continuous setting until you zoom in or out, at which point the camera sets back to Manual.
