Select Focus window to define an area of the camera's image that focus should be applied on. If the focus window is set from
the Live View page, any change in the camera position will return the autofocus to the entire window. To set a permanent focus
window, see About preset positions on page 27
Click the Emulate joystick mode button and click in the image to move the camera view in the direction of the
mouse pointer.
Click the Center mode button and click in the image to center the camera view on that position.
Pan and Tilt bars – Use the arrows to pan and tilt the camera view, or click on a position on the bar to steer the camera view to
that position.
Zoom bar – Use the arrows to zoom in and out, or click on a position on the bar to zoom to that position.
Focus bar – Use the arrows to focus the camera, or click on a position on the bar to set the focus position. Using the focus bar will
disable the product's autofocus. To re-enable, use the PTZ control panel which is opened by clicking the Ctrl panel button (see above).
Iris bar – Click on a position to set a manual exposure level to make the image brighter or darker. This will disable auto iris (automatic
exposure) and set fixed levels on iris, gain and shutter speed. To re-enable auto iris, use the PTZ control panel which is opened by
clicking the Ctrl panel button (see above). If auto iris is enabled, Auto is visible next to the Iris bar bar.
Important
In an environment with varying light conditions it is recommended to use the Brightness bar instead of the Iris bar to adjust
image brightness since changing the brightness level will not disable auto iris (automatic exposure).
Brightness bar – Click on a position on the brightness bar to adjust the image brightness. This setting will not be saved. To make a
saved change, go to Setup > Video > Camera Settings > Brightness and adjust the brightness.
The PTZ controls can be disabled under PTZ > Advanced > Controls, see Controls on page 30.
About focus recall
When you add a focus recall area, the camera saves the focus settings at that specific pan/tilt range. When you have set a focus
recall area and the camera enters that area in the live view, the previously saved focus will be recalled automatically. It's enough
to cover half of the area for the camera to recall the focus.
The focus recall feature is suitable in the following scenarios:
• When there is a 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.
Note
• 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.
Click the Ctrl panel button to open the PTZ control panel which provides additional PTZ controls.
User-defined buttons can also appear in the Control panel. See Controls on page 30.
Select a PTZ preset position to steer the camera view to the saved position. See About preset
positions on page 27.
