Zooming
When zooming is stopped near the Telephoto end
during manual operation or by selecting a preset
position, focusing may deviate slightly. In addition,
the manual zooming operation may not always be
smooth.
These phenomena are due to the characteristics
of the built-in lens and are not malfunctions.
Preset positions
The zooming position of the camera can be set
to a total of 100 preset positions, including the
home position.
The TILT position can be set and operated only
between 0° to 90° even when the item “FLIP” is
set to ON.
Observe the following points when carrying out
maintenance of the camera.
•Turn off the power to all equipment to be used
before proceeding.
Clean the dome cover using a lens cleaning cloth
(or tissue).
The dome cover may become stained in a very
short period in certain operating environments.
If the dome cover lens becomes excessively con-
taminated, clean it with a lens cleaning cloth (or
tissue) moistened with a solution of neutral de-
tergent in water.

be difficult:

high.
When the image brightness is extremely low.
When the image brightness varies continu-
ously (for example when the object is a flash-
ing light).
When the image contrast (difference between
bright and dark) is very poor.
When the image does not contain a vertical
contour component.
When vertical stripe patterns recur on the
screen.
Camera setups with which auto focusing may
be difficult:
When the AGC is activated and the image is
coarse.
When SENSE UP is activated and the im-
age contains only little motion.
