Focus
Figure 20: WebGUI > VIDEO > Camera Settings > Focus
The Focus settings are explained below.
Focus Mode
Auto
The camera determines the focus position and will adjust to the contents of the filmed object.
Manual The user is able to set a fixed focus position manually. This can be useful when the contents
of the filmed object are not clear towards the background and the autofocus has
difficulty finding the correct focusing.
One-push The camera will focus once and will keep the focus in that position until another focus
command is sent.
AF-Mode
This setting defines the area where the autofocus is aimed at. Note that this setting is not visible at manual focus.
Front Focus: Focus close to the camera has priority. If there is no object or person to focus on from
close, the camera will focus on an object or person further away.
Back Focus: Focus far from the camera has priority. If there is no object or person to focus on from far
away, the camera will focus on an object or person closer to the camera.
Meeting: For general meeting scenarios. Focus straight before the camera, but focussing in the
whole room or stage is considered.
Moving Objects: For focussing in the whole room or on stage, but re-focussing is done when the object or
person is moving around.
Center Focus: Focus straight forward at the middle of the room or on stage and re-focussing is done
when the object or person moves.
AF-Sensitivity
Sets the level of speed with which the autofocus responds. This can be useful if you have people walking through
the picture. If the setting is ‘High’, the camera will respond immediately. If the setting is ‘Low’ or ‘Medium’, the
camera will not react to sudden and short changes. The AF-Sensitivity is only visible with Focus Mode > Auto.
Note that in some cases the autofocus will have some difficulties to focus. We strongly recommend to focus
manually to avoid autofocus issues. See also Troubleshooting/ Image in this manual.
