Auto/Manual Focus
Auto Focus
The auto focus function is designed to focus on
most types of subjects. In Auto Focus mode,
the VIEWCAM automatically focuses on what-
ever is in the center of the scene. Always keep
the subject in the center of the screen.
Notes:
• If no subject is in the center of the screen, the
focus area will expand and the subject nearest
the center will be focused on.
• If no subject is displayed on the screen, the
VIEWCAM will automatically zoom out until a
subject comes into the frame.
Manual Focus
The Auto Focus may not be able to focus on
the subject in the situations shown below. In
such situations, set the VIEWCAM to Manual
