(7) Patrol Function Setting (PATROL)
The patrol function remembers manual operations for later automatic playback when they are needed.
1.Aim the camera, with the menu closed, at the start point of the routine you want it to remember.
2.Move the cursor to NUMBER, and then tilt the joystick left or right to specify the number of patrol routines. Tilting the joystick cycles through settings in the sequence shown below. The amount of storage time available depends on the number of routines. The storage time display changes in the sequence shown below. (unit: sec, min)
1(2MIN) ↔ 2(1MIN) ↔ 4(30S)
Note that the total patrol time is two minutes, and the time allowed for each routine depends on the number of patrol routines that are configured. The values in parentheses indicate the time of each patrol routine (two minutes for one pattern, one minute each for two patterns, 30 seconds each for four patterns).
