Selecting Subjects in a Specified Position and Tracking Automatically (auto tracking start mode)

You can automatically track a person who appears at a specified position.

  1. Check that the human tracking mode is set to auto tracking start mode on the PTZ AFR setup screen and that the settings required for auto tracking have been configured.

    For details, see “Configuring PTZ Auto Framing Initial Settings.”

  2. Set the [PTZ AFR] switch to the on position on the live operation screen.

    The area around the [Pause] button blinks blue.

    Hint

    • You can also press the PTZ AUTO FRAMING ON button and OFF button of the supplied infrared remote control to set the [PTZ AFR] switch on/off.

    The camera image automatically moves to the start position. Auto tracking starts when a person enters the detection area.

    During auto tracking, the [Pause] button is enabled and the surrounding area is lit blue.

    • If detection of the person being tracked is lost, you can press the (Restart) button to return to the start position and wait for detection of a tracking target to resume tracking. You can also manually operate the pan/tilt/zoom to bring the tracking subject into the field of view and press the [Resume] button to resume tracking.

Hint

  • Unless you have a specific preference, setting auto focus is recommended. The tracking performance will be reduced if the person is out of focus.
  • If you press the [Pause] button during auto framing, the pan/tilt/zoom operation due to auto tracking is paused, and the button changes to a [Resume] button. To resume auto framing, press the [Resume] button.
  • If you operate the joystick/zoom slider or recall a preset position during auto framing, the pan/tilt/zoom operation due to auto tracking is paused, and the button changes to a [Resume] button. To resume, press the [Resume] button.
  • During auto framing, you can adjust the composition in the AFR composition adjustment panel. For details, see “Specifying the Subjects for Automatic Tracking (manual tracking start mode).”
  • If a tracking target is specified manually in auto tracking start mode, tracking of that person will take priority. To return to auto tracking start mode, press the (Restart) button.
  • If the camera completely loses sight of a person specified manually, the camera returns to auto tracking start mode.
