Panasonic WV-CS954 operating instructions Auto Focus AF Mode, Example, Zoom Limit Zoom Limit

Note: When near-infrared lamps are used, the image may be displayed out of focus and mode switching may not perform automatically.

3.If you selected AUTO in step 1, move the cursor to DURATION TIME and then tilt the joystick left to select the time the camera should wait before switching between the color mode and the black and white mode after there is a change in the

illuminance level.

Available Settings: 10 s - 30 s - 60 s - 300 s

(S)(L)

Note: When AUTO is selected, switching between the color mode and the black and white mode is not performed while pan, tilt, zoom, or focus is being performed.

4.Move the cursor to BURST (BW), and then tilt the joystick left or right to turn burst signal output on or off.

This setting is for black and white mode display. ON: Turns on burst signal output.

OFF: Turns off burst signal output.

Note: With some monitors and VCR models, output of a camera images in the black and white mode will not display a proper image unless a burst signal is provided. Select ON for this setting when using equipment that requires a burst signal.

(11) Auto Focus (AF MODE)

1.Move the cursor to AF MODE, and then tilt the joystick left or right to select an auto-focus mode setting.

MANUAL S.M.L : Activates auto-focus when the AF

button on the system controller is pressed.

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 auto-focus sensing area.

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 auto-focus mode (AUTO AF).

•Zooming up from WIDE can cause the image to go out of focus.

•Auto-focus may not be possible with the types of 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 single-color objects

•Venetian blinds and other vertically striped objects

•Slanted objects

•Objects illuminated with low lighting

Auto-focus focuses on the object in the center of the picture, so objects around the outside periphery of the picture will not be in focus.

(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).

Note:

•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.

Notes:

•The stabilizer may not be effective for the following subjects.

Example: • Objects illuminated with low lighting

•Single-color objects (white walls etc)

•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.
