Setting Video Size and Quality
Important
 The following may occur if video size, video  quality and target bit rate are set higher, as this increases network load and data size per 
frame. – JPEG: The frame rate may drop
– H.264: Video may be temporarily disrupted
 In case of H.264 video, block noise may become noticeable if  a large video size and low target bit rate are set.
 The data size may increase depending on the type or movement of  the subject. If the frame rate remains low or other undesirable 
conditions continue for a prolonged period, lo wer the video size or quality setting.
 The included RM-Lite can only record JPEG video.

 Focusing may be difficult for the following types of subjects when using [Auto].
Difficult to Focus Subjects
 It is recommended that you check that the cam era is focused whenever you restart the camera.
 The estimated focus ranges depending on the [Day/Night] setting are shown in the following table.
* Using infrared illumination from an external device may throw the camera out of focus.You can use [Camera] > [Day/Night Mode Focus] to focus accor ding to the wavelength of an infrared light (P. 115).
