Autofocus enabled - Automatic focusing is enabled by default. If the focus position is changed manually using the focus bar,
autofocus will be disabled even if enabled here. In this case, use the PTZ control panel to enable autofocus, see PTZ Controls, on page
11. If required, the focus control can be disabled under PTZ > Advanced > Controls.
Noise reduction - Set to On to enable noise reduction. Noise reduction may increase the amount of motion blur.
Image freeze on PTZ - Select All movements to freeze the image while the camera is moving during a pan, tilt or zoom operation.
Once the camera reaches its new position, the view from that position is shown. Presets freezes the image only when the camera
moves between preset positions.
