4.5. Adjusting Zoom Levels
To adjust zoom levels, use the zoom buttons located above the
Navigation pad on the back of the FieldView Device.
•To adjust the zoom one step at a time, press and release the Minus
•To adjust zoom levels at a faster rate, press and hold the Minus or Plus button, and release it when the zoom level is where you need it.
The minimum focusing distance changes with the zoom level. As you zoom in, the minimum focus distance moves out. For example, if you are close to an object and zoom in on it, the object will become out of focus if you zoom in too far. The focus adjusts automatically when zooming unless the FieldView Device is in Manual Focus mode. See Focusing, next.
If you need to get very close to your subject, set the zoom level to 1× (minimum zoom) and move the FieldView Device until you reach the desired image size. This will ensure that you achieve the best focus.
4.6. Focusing
4.6.1. Automatic Focus
The FieldView Device normally operates in automatic focus mode and will focus on subjects centered in the viewfinder. Focus will continuously update as the distance between the subject and the lens changes or as zoom is adjusted.
There are situations where manual control is desired to fine tune the focus, particularly for objects not centered in the viewfinder. Manual focus control is described in the following section.
Note that zoom and focus controls are available regardless of whether the
Viewfinder is currently displayed.
4.6.2. Manual Focus
To set focus manually, the Operator can use the Plus/Minus buttons in combination with the Manual Focus (MF) button
