"Auto" is auto focus, "Auto (for domes)" is for the camera used in combination with a camera dome so that auto focus does not focus on the camera dome wall surface, and "Fixed at infinity" enables focusing on infinity.

The Speed dialog box appears when the Speed button is clicked.

For the camera’s "Pan/Tilt Speed", select pan and tilt speeds as Fast, Normal or Slow.

For the camera’s "Zoom Speed", select camera zoom speed as Fast or Slow.

The “Focus Speed” parameter can only be used with the NU-700. You can select Fast or Slow as the focusing speed.
