maximum level, the camera switches to Digital
Zoom Mode.
Separate Mode
In this mode, Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom
can be operated separately. You can use digital
zoom magnification at any time from within
any level of optical magnification.
In the combined mode, the digital zoom range
can be set.
Super Resolution Zoom
Through the use of "all pixel super resolution
technology" developed by Sony Corporation,
this product provides superior images while
maintaining the resolution without degrading
image quality, even when magnified. By
combining with optical zoom 20×, zoom is
achieved up to 30× in 4K and 40× in FHD.
About Continuous Zoom Position Reply
With ZoomDirect mode, or when zooming according
to a preset, the camera outputs zoom position data
when Continues Zoom Position Reply is set to On via a
command.

Focus
Focus has the following modes.
• Auto Focus Mode
The Auto Focus (AF) function automatically adjusts
the focus position to maximise the high frequency
content of the picture in a center measurement area,
taking into consideration the high luminance and
strong contrast components.
The minimum focus distance is 80 mm at the optical
wide end and 800 mm at the optical tele end.
- Normal AF Mode
This is the normal mode for AF operations.
- Interval AF Mode
The mode used for AF movements carried out at
particular intervals. The time intervals for AF
movements and for the timing of the stops can be
set in one-second increments using the Set Time
Command. The initial setting for both is set to 5
seconds.
- Zoom Trigger Mode
When zoom position is changed,it becomes AF
mode during the pre-set value (initial setting is set
to 5 seconds). Then it stops.
• AF Sensitivity
The switching of AF sensitivity can be set.
- Normal
Reaches the highest focus speed quickly. Use this
when shooting a subject that moves frequently.
Usually, this is the most appropriate mode.
- Low
Improves the stability of the focus. When the
lighting level is low, the AF function does not take
effect, even though the brightness varies,
contributing to a stable image.
• Manual Focus Mode
Manual Focus has both a Standard Mode and a
Variable Mode. Standard Mode focuses at a fixed rate
of speed. Variable Mode has eight speed levels.
In these standard and variable modes, it is necessary to send Stop
Command to stop the zoom operation.
• One Push Trigger Mode
When a Trigger Command is sent, the lens moves to
adjust the focus for the subject. The focus lens then
holds that position until the next Trigger Command is
input.
• Near Limit
Can be set in a range from 1000 (∞) to F000 (80 mm).
Initial setting: B000h (35 cm)
• Spot focus mode
The spot focus mode allows you to focus on a specific
portion of the subject. This mode is used when it is
difficult to focus on the subject by using the normal
auto focus, and so on. The focusing spot is specified
by the area of the entire screen divided into 16-split
both vertically and horizontally.
White Balance (WB)
White Balance has the following modes.
• Auto
This mode computes the white balance value output
using color information from the entire screen. It
outputs the proper value using the color temperature
radiating from a black subject based on a range of
values from 2500K to 7500K.
This mode is the initial setting.
• ATW
Auto Tracing White balance (2000K to 10000K)
• Indoor
3200K Base Mode
• Outdoor
5800K Base Mode
• One Push WB
The One Push White Balance mode is a fixed white
balance mode that may be automatically readjusted
only at the request of the user (One Push Trigger),
assuming that a white subject, in correct lighting
