– when the subject passes by other moving objects – when the target moves too fast or too slow – when the camera is shaking

• When the zoom ratio is set to the “Tele” side, it may be difficult to obtain accuracy with the auto

tracking function. It is recommended to use the auto tracking function with setting the zoom ratio to the “Wide” side.

• During auto tracking, if the camera is operated using the control pad or by other methods, or if

an alarm occurs, auto tracking is stopped.

• Auto pan: Automatically pans between the start position and the end position set in advance

(®page 109). Even when the camera is operated for zooming or focusing, the camera continues panning. (However, panning will stop when the zoom button (x1) is clicked.)

• Preset sequence: Automatically moves to the preset positions (®page 106) orderly (start from the

• Preset map-shot: 8 thumbnail images of the preset position 1-8 (®page 106) will be displayed orderly

on a newly displayed window. When a thumbnail image is clicked, the camera moves to the respective position and live images will be displayed on the “Live” page.

Note

• Do not operate the browser until all the thumbnail images are displayed and the camera returns to

the original position (where the camera was when “360 map-shot” or “Preset map-shot” was carried out).

• When “360 map-shot” is carried out while the camera is moving (panning/tilting), images captured

while panning/tilting may be displayed as the thumbnail display. In this case, stop the current operation and carry out “360 map-shot” again.

• When “Preset map-shot” is carried out with an unregistered preset position (among preset position

1-8), the thumbnail image of the preset position before the unregistered preset position will be displayed. In this case, the camera will not move when the thumbnail image is clicked.

• The camera will not always return to the exactly same position where it was before “360

map-shot” or “Preset map-shot” was carried out. (It may sometimes be slightly different.)

• The window on which the thumbnail images are displayed will close when clicking the following

buttons that can switch the camera channel or reload images: [Live], [Multi-screen], [H.264], [JPEG], [Stream], [Image capture size], [Image quality], [Setup]. To display the thumbnail images again, carry out “360 map-shot” or “Preset map-shot” again.

• Patrol 1-4: Performs patrols 1-4 that were set in advance. (®page 111)

Control pad/buttons

Left-click on the control pad or buttons to adjust the horizontal/vertical position of the camera (panning/ tilting). Panning/tilting speed will be faster if a clicked point gets farther from the center point of the control pad. When the tilt reaches a certain angle, the image is automatically turned upside-down (digital flip function). It is also possible to pan/tilt the camera by dragging the mouse. Zoom and focus can be adjusted by right-clicking. When an upper/lower area of the control pad is right-clicked, the displayed image will be zoomed in/out on.

savings on the SD memory card. Selecting “H.264(1)” or “H.264(2)” for “Recording format” can reduce the number of files to be stored on the SD memory card.

• If the data writing speed goes down after data is repeatedly written on an SD memory card, we

recommend replacing the SD memory card.

[Recording format]

Select “JPEG”/“H.264(1)”/“H.264(2)” for the video encoding format of image data to be recorded on the SD memory card.

• JPEG: Records still image data.

• H.264(1): Records video data (H.264(1)) in the MP4 video encoding format. The data is recorded in

accordance with the settings of “H.264(1)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/Audio” page.

• H.264(2): Records video data (H.264(2)) in the MP4 video encoding format. The data is recorded in

accordance with the settings of “H.264(2)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/Audio” page.

• Default: JPEG

Note

• When recording the same data as the “Live” pages, it is recommended that the same settings be

configured for both the “Live” pages and “Recording format”. When recording data other than the “Live” pages (for example, to reduce the data volume by lowering the image quality and image resolution), select image data other than the “Live” page from “Recording format”, and configure the settings for recording video data.

• When “H.264(1)” is selected, the settings for “H.264(1)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/

Audio” page will be changed to the settings for “H.264(1) & recording”. When “H.264(2)” is selected, the settings for “H.264(2)” on the [JPEG/H.264] tab of the “Image/ Audio” page will be changed to the settings for “H.264(2) & recording”.

• When using the SD memory recording function of a Panasonic network disk recorder, select “JPEG”

for “Recording format”.

• When the setting of “Recording format” is changed between “JPEG” and “H.264(1)” or “H.264(2)”,

format the SD memory card. (®page 66)

• Due to the difference in file formats, the indication of remaining capacity of the SD memory card differs

between the cases when “JPEG” is selected and when “H.264(1)” or “H.264(2)” is selected for “Recording format”.

Super Dynamic function

When there is wide variation between the illumination of light and dark areas of the location being monitored, the camera adjusts the lens iris in accordance with the brighter areas. This causes loss of detail in darker areas. Conversely, adjusting the lens brightness for the darker areas causes the brighter areas to become washed out. Super Dynamic digitally combines an image that is set up for a clear view of the brighter areas with an image that is set up for a clear view of the darker areas, creating a final image that preserves overall detail.

A. Subject in the dark

area is hard to notice...

B. Subject in the bright

area is washed out...

C. Creates a clearer

image by digitally combining images
