Note on auto focusing

Although this unit incorporates a one-push auto-focusing system and EASY AF functions, auto-focusing may sometimes be impossible depending on the object and camera setup. In this case, adjust the focusing manually.

Objects and images with which auto focusing may be difficult:

¥When the image brightness is extremely high.

¥When the image brightness is extremely low.

¥When the image brightness varies continu- ously (for example when the object is a flash- ing light).

¥When the image contrast (difference between bright and dark) is very poor.

¥When the image does not contain a vertical contour component.

¥When vertical stripe patterns recur on the screen.

Camera setups with which auto focusing may be difficult:

¥When the AGC is activated and the image is coarse.

¥When SENSE UP is activated and the im- age contains only little motion.

Zooming

When zooming is stopped near the Telephoto end during manual operation or by selecting a preset position, focusing may deviate slightly. In addition, the manual zooming operation may not always be smooth.

These phenomena are due to the characteristics of the built-in lens and are not malfunctions.

Preset positions

¥The zooming position of the camera can be set to a total of 100 preset positions, including the home position.

¥The TILT position can be set and operated only between 0¡ to 90¡ even when the item ÒFLIPÓ is set to ON.

Observe the following points when carrying out

maintenance of the camera.

¥Turn off the power to all equipment to be used before proceeding.

¥Clean the dome cover using a lens cleaning cloth (or tissue).

The dome cover may become stained in a very short period in certain operating environments. If the dome cover lens becomes excessively con- taminated, clean it with a lens cleaning cloth (or tissue) moistened with a solution of neutral de- tergent in water.
