Image Stabilization

Image Stabilization becomes increasingly important as zoom ranges are extended. The
advanced image stabilization algorithms of the MIC-550 eliminate camera shake for
exceptional image clarity. Bosch achieves this clarity without reducing camera sensitivity or
picture quality. To configure image stabilization, open the Main menu, select the Camera
Setup menu, and then select Stabilization to turn on the feature.

Pre-position Tour

The MIC-550 features (2) preset tours. Each preset scene is saved for playback later.
Tour 1 is a standard tour that only recalls the scenes in the exact sequence they were shot.
Scenes can be added or deleted on the tour, but the sequence cannot be changed. To add or
remove scenes on Tour 1 enter the keyboard command SHOT-900-ENTER and follow the on-
screen instructions.
Tour 2 is a customizable tour that allows you to rearrange the sequence of scenes on the tour
by inserting and deleting scenes. To enter the Edit Tour 2 menu, enter the keyboard command
SET-900-ENTER and follow the on-screen instructions.

Azimuth, Elevation, and Compass Directions

The MIC-550 allows a user to display the azimuth and elevation position, and the compass
heading of the camera. The MIC-550 displays the position data in the lower-right corner of the
image display. These readings are described as:
Azimuth: The pan angle from zero to 359 degrees in one degree increments. An azimuth of
Elevation: The tilt position from zero (horizon) to –90 degrees (camera pointing straight
Compass: The cardinal or intercardinal (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) heading in which the
The MIC-550 uses the azimuth to determine the compass direction. The following table shows
the azimuth range and its corresponding compass heading:
Azimuth Range Compass Direction
21° to 65°
66° to 110°
111° to 155°
156° to 200°
201° to 245°
246° to 290°
291° to 335°
336° to 20°

Setting the Azimuth Zero Point

The installer must calibrate the Azimuth Zero point. The MIC-550 uses the Azimuth Zero point,
usually set to magnetic North, as the zero degree pan position and as the North compass
heading. The MIC-550 then displays the azimuth reading and the compass heading based on
the number of degrees from the Azimuth Zero point.
