Important
Privacy mask areas cannot be set in digital zoom areas.
Privacy masks set at a zoom position close to the tele end
may deviate slightly from the specified position.
Set the privacy mask area to a somewhat larger size than the
area you want to hide. Also, be sure to confirm that after
setting a privacy mask, the area you want to hide does not
become visible when the camera direction is altered by pan,
tilt, or zoom operations.
Intelligent functions will not detect set privacy mask areas.
Privacy masks are applied to all images transmitted from the
camera (live video, uploaded images, recorded video).
If the privacy mask settings were changed after a panorama
image was saved using the Panorama Creation Tool, the
panorama image must be recreated using the Panorama
Creation Tool.
Reconfigure all privacy mask positions and sizes when
reconfiguring privacy mask settings after the image stabilizer
setting was changed.
