The auto focus function cannot be used when performing patrol operations. As a characteristic of zoom lenses, when images are zoomed up from the “Wide” side, they may become blurred. When learning zoom operations, starting from the “Tele” side will reduce blurring.
The operational range of patrol is from horizontal to directly underneath the camera. Digital flip function cannot be used.
