What is HD EX optical zoom?
Among the effective pixels of the MOS sensor, approximately 920,000 pixels (equivalent to 1280 x 720 resolution) are cut off from the center and shot. Therefore, using a resolution of less than 1280 x 720 makes it possible to shoot with a higher telephoto effect.

Automatic tracking is a function that automatically tracks and shoots an object when it is detected in a predetermined auto pan, preset sequence/preset position, patrol, or area.
Basic settings
[Detection object]
The object to be detected can be selected. You can select multiple objects.
[Human]:Automatic tracking is performed when a person is detected.
[Vehicle]:Automatic tracking is performed when a car is detected.
[Bicycle]:Automatic tracking is performed when a motorcycle is detected.

[Object size]
Select the size at tracking from the following.
[Small (1/4 of the image)]:Zoom the tracking object to the monitor screen up to about 1/4 (vertical) size.
[Medium (1/2 of the image)]:Zoom the tracking object to the monitor screen up to about 1/2 (vertical) size.
[Large (3/4 of the image)]:Zoom the tracking object to the monitor screen up to approximately 3/4 (vertical) size.
[No size adjustment]:Zoom control is not performed during tracking.
[Note:]

・The size is only a guide. Depending on the environmental conditions and tracking conditions, the assumed size may not be achieved.


・Increasing the size of the object to be tracked reduces the tracking performance.
[Sensitivity]
Select the sensitivity during tracking from the following.
[High]/[Middle]/[Low]
[Note:]

・The lower the sensitivity, the less false detection due to wooden shaking, but the lower the tracking performance. On the other hand, higher sensitivity improves tracking performance, but it also increases false detection. Set according to the environment.
[Longest tracking time]
Select the time from below from the start of auto-tracking to forced termination.
[Off(Unlimited)]/[10s]/[20s]/[30s]/[40s]/[50s]/[1min]/[2min]/[3min]/[5min]/[10min]
[Note:]

・After the maximum tracking time, the camera stops in that position. When the auto mode operation is restored, the self-return time is counted and the auto mode operation is restored after the tracking is stopped by setting the self-return.
[Auto track data in video stream]
Select whether to send the superimposed image data by adding auto-tracking information to the image.
[Off]:Automatic tracking information is not added to the image.
[On]:This feature adds automatic tracking information to images, but does not display target frames for objects under automatic tracking in live pictures.
