Input the camera and target area heights correctly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Check for trees, flags, or other moving objects, as

 

 

 

 

well as standing water, glass, and other reflecting

objects in the target screen.

 

If any such objects are in the area being monitored,

 

 

 

 

mask them from the image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• SENSITIVITY may be set too high.

Use a lower SENSITIVITY setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Check if ON is selected for the STABILIZER setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When STABILIZER is ON, auto tracking may start
