(11) Auto Focus (AF MODE)
1.Move the cursor to AF MODE, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select an
MANUAL S.M.L : Activates
AUTO S.M.L : Auto focus is used automatically when PAN, TILT or ZOOM are used in manual operation.
The letters S (Small), M (Medium), and L (Large) indicate the size of the
Notes:
•The AUTO (S.M.L.) setting can be selected only when OFF, x2 FIX or x2 AUTO is selected for the electronic sensitivity enhancement (SENS UP). Any other SENS UP setting causes MANUAL (S.M.L.) to be selected automatically for the

objects listed below. For such objects, focus manually.
Example:
•Shiny or high intensity objects
•Objects shot through wet or dirty glass
•Pictures that are a mixture of distant and nearby objects
•White walls and other
•Venetian blinds and other vertically striped objects
•Slanted objects
•Objects illuminated with low lighting
(12) Zoom Limit (ZOOM LIMIT)
1.Move the cursor to ZOOM LIMIT, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select a zoom limit setting. When doing manual operation, zoom operation cannot go beyond the zoom limit.
Optical zoom ranges from 1 to 30 magnifications, while digital zoom is used for higher magnifications (up to 300).
The factory default setting is x30 (30x optical zoom).
Notes:
•If zoom limit is set to more than 30x, then zoom operation pauses at 30x magnification.
•Increasing the zoom to over 30x magnification (digital zoom) decreases the resolution.
•You cannot set a zoom magnification of greater than 30x as a preset position.
(13) Auto Image Stabilizer (STABILIZER)
This function electronically compensates for an unstable camera image due to movement of a mounting pole or bracket.
1.Move the cursor to STABILIZER, and then tilt the joystick left or right to turn the stabilizer on or off. The default setting is OFF
ON : Automatically compensates for an unstable image.
OFF : Image stabilizer will not operate. This is the factory default setting.
Notes:
•The stabilizer may not be effective for the following subjects.
Example: • Objects illuminated with low lighting
•
•Fast moving periodic action, such as mechanical vibration, may not be tracked.
•The stabilizer does not work during PAN/TILT/ZOOM/FOCUS or when the camera setup menu is open.
•When set to ON, some effective pixels on the edge of the CCD are used by the stabilization function. This may result in a small reduction in resolution and a narrower angle of view. After activating the image stabilizer function, check that the field of view is correct.
•Image stabilization may not function where there is excessive camera movement or when the scene is low light or low contrast objects.
