Note
 The panorama screen may be slightly different from the actual image. After you have configured view restrictions, be sure to use 
the Camera Viewer to confirm they have been reflected correctly.  View restrictions are not applied to the video display area of the 
restrict view setting.
 The controllable range and range that can be captured are as follows.
 The pan and tilt ranges vary depending on the zoom ratio (view angle).
 If the view restriction will be exceeded as a result of zooming  toward wide-angle, the camera will first pan and tilt to a position 
where the maximum wide-angle zoom will be  within the viewing restriction area. Wide-angle zoom control will then be enabled 
within the view restriction area.
 Narrowing the view restriction  may also reduce the zoom range.

Setting view restrictions 
automatically restricts 
the camera operating 
angle. When using wide-angle, the camera 
operating angle would allow capture outside 
the view restrictions if the angle remained the 
same. Therefore, it is narrowed automatically.
