Auto/Manual Focus

Auto Focus
The auto focus function is designed to focus on
most types of subjects. In Auto Focus mode,
the VIEWCAM automatically focuses on what-
ever is in the centre of the scene. Always keep
the subject in the centre of the screen.
Notes:
• If no subject is in the centre of the screen, the
focus area will expand and the subject nearest
the centre will be focused on.
• If no subject is displayed on the screen, the
VIEWCAM will automatically zoom out until a
subject comes into the frame.

the subject in the situations shown below. In
such situations, set the VIEWCAM to Manual
