When the zoom lens is operated to TELE side, optical zoom works and electronic zoom works after optical zoom becomes full. This item sets the maximum value of the electronic zoom function.
[Set values: 1, 2, 4, 8, 10]
As electronic zoom processes the images digitally, image quality will deteriorate slightly
Increasing the electronic zoom ratio will shift the center of the screen toward the top left. This is a characteristic of this camera and is not a malfunction.
During continuous zoom operation, there is a one-second pause when the electronic zoom switches to optical zoom. This is intended to mark the boundary between electronic and optical zoom, and is not a malfunction.

Basic operation of Pan Limit
When [Pan Limit] is set to “ON”, panning is only available in the effective area.
When the camera is moved to prohibited area by some operation that has priority over [Pan Limit] and manual panning is performed, it operates in the following manner.
Panning can be operated freely even in the prohibited area before the camera enters the effective area.
Once the camera enters the effective area, the [Pan Limit] settings take over and pan operation can only be performed in the effective area.
Operations that have priority over Pan Limit
The following operations are available regardless of the prohibited areas set in [Pan Limit].
Auto Pan
Auto Trace
Move Preset Position
Auto Flip
Settings that have priority over Pan Limit
The following setting comes together with pan operation but they can be set regardless of the prohibited areas even when [Pan Limit] is set to “ON”.
Privacy Mask Setting
Auto Pan setting
When setting Preset Position with [Pan Limit] set to “ON”, panning operation is disabled in the prohibited area.
As Move Preset Position has priority over manual pan limit, setting the manual pan limit after setting Preset Position does not prevent Preset Position operation in the prohibited area.
When setting Auto Trace and Preset Position and the [Pan Limit] setting is “ON”, panning is unavailable in the prohibited area.
As Auto Trace and Move Preset Position have priority over manual pan limit, setting pan limit after setting Auto Trace or Preset Position does not prevent Auto Trace or Preset Position operation.
Tilt Limit
This item sets the movable range of the tilt (vertical) operation during manual operation.
When this item is set to 10°, the movable range of the tilt operation is from 10° to 90°. It cannot operate between -5° and 9°.
When the [Auto Flip] item is set to “Digital Flip”, Tilt Limit is also applied to tilt operations to 180°.
[Set values: -5 Degree to 0 Degree to 10 Degree]
When the camera is moved to a prohibited area by some operation for which priority is assigned to Tilt Limit and manual tilting is performed, it operates in the following manner.
Tilt operation is disabled in the prohibited area. Tilt will be forcibly moved to the effective area.
Once the camera enters the effective area, the Tilt Limit settings take over and tilt operation can only be performed in the effective area.
It does not affect the Preset Position, Auto Pan and Auto Trace operations.
Preset Position Speed
Speed
This item sets the speed of moving to the preset position. It is also applicable when moving to the preset position in Auto Patrol.
[Set values: Low, Mid, High]
Auto Flip
Auto Flip
Set this item when shooting objects that pass right under the camera.
The camera stops at the face down position when vertical rotation is performed, the following operations are necessary to shoot objects that pass right under the camera.
You can use the [Auto Flip] function to perform the above operations automatically.
OFF:
Auto Flip function does not activate.
Digital Flip:
The top/bottom and left/right of the image flips when tilt position passed the angle of 135°.
Mode1:
When the camera faces bottom, it rotates 180° horizontally and stops. In this case, the operating direction of the camera is the same as that of the Pan/Tilt operation.
Mode2:
When the camera faces down, it rotates 180° horizontally and the camera operates in a direction opposite to that of the Tilt operation. Select this mode if you wish to operate continuously. Once operation stops, the direction will return to normal.
Mode3:
When the camera faces bottom, it rotates 180° horizontally and the operating direction of the camera is opposite that of the Tilt operation. However, the operating direction will return to normal 10 seconds after the operation has stopped.
[Set values: OFF, Digital Flip, Mode1, Mode2, Mode3]
The [Speed] settings for [Preset Position Speed] are reflected as the rotation speed when images are flipped using “Mode1”, “Mode2”, “Mode3”. To flip images in high speed using “Mode1”, “Mode2”, “Mode3”, set the [Preset Position Speed] in [Speed] to “High”.
When [Auto Flip] is set to other than “OFF”, the camera can be moved to areas outside the pan limit with the Tilt operation. When “Digital Flip” is set, use the Tilt operation to flip and return to the pan limit area again. When “Mode1”, “Mode2” or “Mode3” is set and the camera is moved to inside of the pan limit with Pan operation, it will stop at the pan limit position.
