Adjust the focus
1. Go to Settings > Image > Focus and click Show AF area.
2. Adjust the autofocus area to cover the part of the image that you want to be in focus.
If you don't select an autofocus area, the camera focuses on the entire scene. We recommend that you focus on a
static object.

4. To fine tune the focus, use the focus slider.
Reduce motion blur in low-light conditions
To reduce motion blur in low-light conditions, you can adjust one or more of the following settings:
Note
Image noise will increase if you increase the gain.
•
Increase shutter speed and gain. Go to Settings > Image > Exposure and set Max shutter to a shorter time, and Max gain
to a higher value.
If you are still experiencing motion blur, you can try one of the following:
•
Increase the light level in the scene.
•
Mount the camera so that objects move toward it or away from it rather than sideways.
Benefit from IR light in low-light conditions using night mode
Your camera uses visible light to deliver color images during the day. As the available light diminishes, you can set the camera to
automatically shift to night mode, in which 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.
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.
•
For environments with certain artificial lighting, for example fluorescent lighting, select Flicker-free.
Select the same frequency as the power line frequency.
