Lens specifications: Optical 18 × , f = 4.1 to 73.8 mm (F1.4 to F3.0) The horizontal angle of view is approximately 48 degrees (wide end) to 2.7 degrees (tele end). Digital Zoom enlarges the[...]

8 Basic Functions To avoid AF error from continuous 24 hour AF mode usage, daily initialization of lens system using the CAM_Initialize command is recommended. The CAM_Initialize command takes less than 3 seconds to initialize the focus and zoom. • Manual Focus Mode MF (Manual Focus) has both a Standard Speed Mode and a Variable Speed Mode. Stand[...]

9 Basic Functions AE – Shutter Priority The shutter speed can be set freely by the user to a total of 22 steps – 16 high speeds and 6 low speeds. When the slow shutter is set, the speed can be 1 / 30 , 1 / 15 , 1 / 8 , or 1 / 4 s. The picture output is read at a normal rate from the memory. The memory is updated at a low rate from the CCD. AF c[...]
