- In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto setting. In cases like this, select the manual setting and focus manually.
- The appropriate brightness may not be obtained when shooting bright objects using the auto settings for the gain and iris. In such cases, set the shutter speed to manual and adjust.
What should I do when zooming and focusing?
When the focus is set manually, out-of-focusing may occur during zooming. After zooming, if necessary, either adjust the focus or set the focus to auto. When using the focus at the manual setting, proceed with zooming after setting the focus position at the Tele end where the focusing accuracy is higher. However, if the distance from the unit to the subject is less than 1.0 meter [3.28 ft], the subject may shift out of focus at the Wide end. If zooming is performed to the Tele end after having adjusted the focus at the Wide end, out-of-focusing may occur.
What happens to the zoom position when the power is turned on?
When the unit is turned on, the zoom, focus, and iris return to their positions from before the unit entered standby mode (This happens for the focus and iris when they were set manually). The operation will be performed with the [Preset Scope] settings applied in such cases. However, this position may not be restored if, for instance, the power cable was disconnected during operation.
What is the operating temperature range?
Avoid using the unit in cold locations where the temperature drops below 0 °C (32 °F) or hot locations where the temperature rises above 40 °C (104 °F) since these temperatures downgrade the picture quality and adversely affect the internal parts.
