How to focus faster using focus recall areas
To save the focus settings at a specific pan/tilt range, add a focus recall area. Each time the camera moves into that area it recalls the
previously saved focus. It's enough to cover half of the focus recall area in the live view.
We recommend the focus recall feature in the following scenarios:
• When there is a lot of manual operation in live view, for example with a joystick.
• Where PTZ preset positions with manual focus are not efficient, for example movements where the focus setting changes
continuously.
• In low-light scenarios, where the autofocus is challenged by the lighting conditions.
Important
• The focus recall overrides the camera's autofocus at the specific pan/tilt range.
• A preset position overrides the focus setting saved in the focus recall area.
• The maximum amount of focus recall areas is 20.
How to add a focus recall area
1. Pan, tilt and zoom into the area where you would like to have focus.
2. Set the focus, either use the autofocus or adjust manually. As long as the focus recall button shows a plus, you can add a
focus recall area in that position.
3. Click on the focus recall button.
How to remove a focus recall area
1. Pan, tilt and zoom into the focus recall area you want to remove. The focus recall button toggles to minus when the
camera detects a focus recall area.
2. Click on the focus recall button.
How to select exposure mode
There are different exposure mode options in the camera that adjusts aperture, shutter speed, and gain to improve image quality for
specific surveillance scenes. Go to Settings > Image > Exposure and select between the following exposure modes:
• For most use cases, select Automatic exposure.
• If you need full control of all parameters, mostly useful for scenes with little change in lighting, select Manual.
How to benefit from IR light in low-light conditions using night mode
Your camera uses visible light to deliver color images during the day. As light diminishes, you can set the camera to automatically
shift to night mode. In night mode the camera uses both visible light and near-infrared light to deliver black-and-white images.
Since the camera uses more of the available light it can deliver brighter, more detailed, images.
1. Go to Settings > Image > Day and night, and make sure that the IR cut filter is set to Auto.
2. To determine at what light level you want the camera to shift to night mode, set the Day-night shift priority to Day,
Night or None.
