View Areas
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. Each view area is treated as a video source in Live View and has its own video
stream and P TZ settings.
To enable view areas, go to Video & Audio > Camera Settings and select Enable View Areas.
When setting up a v ie w area it is recommended that the video stream resolution is the same size as or sma ller than the view area
size. Setting the video stream resolution larger than the vie w area size implies digitally scaled up video af ter sensor capture,
requiring more bandwidth without a dding image information.
