Panasonic WV-CW384 operating instructions Auto Image Stabilizer Stabilizer, LED Setting LED

14. Auto Image Stabilizer (STABILIZER)

This function electronically compensates for an unstable camera image due to movement of a mounting pole or bracket. The default setting is "OFF".

ON: Automatically compensates for an unstable image.

OFF: Image stabilizer will not operate.

Important:

•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 con- trast objects.

15. LED Setting (LED)

"ON" or "OFF" is selected to decide whether or not to use the LED located on the side of this unit. The default setting is "ON". ON: Blinks the LED when the motion detector function (☞ page 27) detects a change in an image. Lights in the cases other

than the above.

OFF: Keeps the LED unlit.

16. Back-focus Setting (BACK-FOCUS SETUP)

Perform adjustment of the back-focus (flange-back: the gap between the lens and focal plane) remotely on this menu using a system controller. After installation, you can perform this adjustment when defocus arises that may be caused by long-term use, environmental changes, etc.

Important:

•Do not use the ABF function for continuous or repetitive pur- poses (ex. autofocus etc.). This function is to be used to cor- rect defocus caused by switching between color and black - and - white when/after installing the camera.
