For such objects, focusmanually.Example: • Shiny or high intensity objects• Objects shot through wet or dirtyglass• Pictures that are a mixture of distantand nearby objects• White walls and other single-colourobjects• Venetian blinds and other verticallystriped objects• Slanted objects• Objects illuminated with low lightingAuto-focus focuses on the object in the centre ofthe picture, so objects around the outside peripheryof the picture will not be in focus.(12) Zoom Limit (ZOOM LIMIT)1. Move the cursor to ZOOM LIMIT, and then tilt thejoystick left or right to select a zoom limit setting.When doing manual operation, zoom operationcannot go beyond the zoom limit.Optical zoom ranges from 1 to 30 magnifications,while digital zoom is used for higher magnifications(up to 300).The factory default setting is x30 (30x opticalzoom).Notes:• If zoom limit is set to more than 30x, then zoomoperation pauses at 30x magnification.• Increasing the zoom to over 30x magnification(digital zoom) decreases the resolution.• You cannot set a zoom magnification of greaterthan 30x as a preset position.• Auto tracking cannot be used with a zoommagnification of 30x or greater.(13) Auto Image Stabilizer (STABILIZER)This function electronically compensates for anunstable camera image due to movement of amounting pole or bracket.1. Move the cursor to STABILIZER, and then tilt thejoystick left or right to turn the stabilizer on or off.The default setting is OFF.ON : Automatically compensates for an unstableimage.OFF : Image stabilizer will not operate. This is thefactory default setting.Notes:• The stabilizer may not be effective for thefollowing subjects.Example: • Objects illuminated with low lighting• Single-colour objects (white wallsetc)• Fast moving periodic action, such asmechanical vibration, may not be tracked.• The stabilizer does not work duringPAN/TILT/ZOOM/FOCUS or when the camerasetup menu is open.• When set to ON, some effective pixels on theedge of the CCD are used by the stabilisationfunction. This may result in a small reduction inresolution and a narrower angle of view. Afteractivating the image stabilizer function, checkthat the field of view is correct.• Auto tracking may not operate normally whenON is selected for STABILIZER.
