Level the camera
To adjust the view in relation to a reference area or an object, use the level grid in combination with a
mechanical adjustment of the camera.
1. Go to Video > Image > and click .
2. Click to show the level grid.
3. Adjust the camera mechanically until the position of the reference area or the object is aligned with the
level grid.
Adjust the focus faster with focus recall areas
To save the focus settings at a specific pan/tilt range, add a focus recall area. Each time the camera moves into
that area it recalls the previously saved focus. It’s enough to cover half of the focus recall area in the live view.
We recommend the focus recall feature in the following scenarios:
• When there is a lot of manual operation in live view, for example with a joystick.
• Where PTZ preset positions with manual focus are not efficient, for example movements where the
focus setting changes continuously.
• In low-light scenarios, where the autofocus is challenged by the lighting conditions.
Important
• The focus recall overrides the camera’s autofocus at the specific pan/tilt range.
• A preset position overrides the focus setting saved in the focus recall area.
• The maximum number of focus recall areas is 20.
Create a focus recall area
1. Pan, tilt, and zoom into the area where you would like to have focus.
As long as the focus recall button shows a plus , you can add a focus recall area in that position.
