Registering the Focus Positions
The focus positions that are used when switching Day/
Night Mode are registered as follows:
[Registered] will appear next to the mode, [Day Mode]
or [Night Mode], picked in step 1.
[Clear the registered focus position?] will appear when
selecting (5), even if only one focus position has been
registered for either [Day Mode] or [Night Mode].
When switching to (5), and then back to [Move to
registered focus position] mode, selecting [No] will
preserve the registered focus position. Selecting [Yes] will
clear the registered focus position.

Important
If the viewer is exited in [Day Mode] or [Night Mode], auto

page. To set auto day/night to enable, be sure to exit the
viewer after setting [Auto].
While making settings with the [Day/Night Mode Focus
Settings] panel, it is not possible to make settings using
Admin Tools on another computer.
If [Use One-shot AF] is activated due to switching between
Day/Night Mode, the camera may not be able to focus on a
target subject using One-shot AF if another subject passes in
front of the target at that time.
If Night Mode will be used under infrared lighting, turn on the
lighting before switching to Night Mode.
Even if you use [Day/Night Mode Focus Settings], focus may
not be maintained in Night Mode if the light source changes
(ex. infrared lighting to sunlight).
