2. If you selected AUTO in step 1, move the cursor to
LEVEL and then tilt the joystick left to select the
threshold illuminance level for switching between
the color mode and the black and white mode.
The illuminance shown below is based on the
assumption that the camera is used in an area lit by
halogen lamps, and that AGC on the menu is set to
MID. 
LOW :Switches to the black and white mode when
illuminance around the camera is
approximately 1.5 lux{fc} or lower (when
AGC ON (MID), SENS UP OFF is set). 
HIGH :Switches to the black and white mode when
illuminance around the camera is
approximately 3 lux{fc} or lower (when AGC
ON (MID), SENS UP OFF is set). This is the

							-32- (11) Auto Focus (AF MODE)
1. Move the cursor to AF MODE, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select an auto-focus mode
setting.
MANUAL S.M.L :Activates auto-focus when the AF
button on the system controller is
pressed. 
AUTO S.M.L :Auto focus is used automatically
when PAN, TILT or ZOOM are
used in manual operation. 
The letters S (Small), M (Medium), and L (Large)
indicate the size of the auto-focus sensing area.  
The factory default setting is AUTO L.
Notes:
• The AUTO (S.M.L.) setting can be selected only
when OFF, x2 FIX or x2 AUTO is selected for the
electronic sensitivity enhancement (SENS UP).
Any other SENS UP setting causes MANUAL
(S.M.L.) to be selected automatically for the
auto-focus mode (AUTO). 
• Zooming up from WIDE can cause the image to
go out of focus. 
• Auto-focus may not be possible with the types of
objects listed below. For such objects, focus
manually. 
Example: • Shiny or high intensity objects 
• Objects shot through wet or dirty
glass 
• Pictures that are a mixture of distant
and nearby objects
• White walls and other single-color
objects
• Venetian blinds and other vertically
striped objects
• Slanted objects
• Objects illuminated with low lighting 
Auto-focus focuses on the object in the center of
the picture, so objects around the outside periphery
of the picture will not be in focus. 
(12) Zoom Limit (ZOOM LIMIT) 
1. Move the cursor to ZOOM LIMIT, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to select a zoom limit setting. 
When doing manual operation, zoom operation
cannot go beyond the zoom limit.
Optical zoom ranges from 1 to 30 magnifications,
while digital zoom is used for higher magnifications
(up to 300). 
The factory default setting is x30 (30x optical
zoom).
Notes:
• If zoom limit is set to more than 30x, then zoom
operation pauses at 30x magnification. 
• Increasing the zoom to over 30x magnification
(digital zoom) decreases the resolution. 
• You cannot set a zoom magnification of greater
than 30x as a preset position. 
• Auto tracking cannot be used with a zoom
magnification of 30x or greater. (13) Auto Image Stabilizer (STABILIZER)
This function electronically compensates for an
unstable camera image due to movement of a
mounting pole or bracket. 
1. Move the cursor to STABILIZER, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to turn the stabilizer on or off.
The default setting is OFF.
ON :Automatically compensates for an unstable
image.
OFF :Image stabilizer will not operate. This is the
factory default setting.
Notes:
• The stabilizer may not be effective for the
following subjects. 
Example: • Objects illuminated with low lighting 
• Single-color objects (white walls etc)
• Fast moving periodic action, such as
mechanical vibration, may not be tracked.
• The stabilizer does not work during
PAN/TILT/ZOOM/FOCUS or when the camera
setup menu is open. 
• When set to ON, some effective pixels on the
edge of the CCD are used by the stabilization
function. This may result in a small reduction in
resolution and a narrower angle of view. After
activating the image stabilizer function, check
that the field of view is correct.
• Auto tracking may not operate normally when
ON is selected for STABILIZER.

							(2) Operate the camera to store the movements. 
LEARNING (***S) is displayed in the center of the
screen when the movements are being stored.
(unit: sec)
* (***S) indicates the amount of time that remains
for storing movements. 
(3) The setup menu is displayed and teaching stops. 
Storing movements stops when the remaining time
reaches 0S. 
Notes:
• Selecting LEARN to teach the camera a patrol
routine causes the following parameters to be
stored along with the camera movements. 
(1) Parameters at the Beginning of the Routine
• PAN, TILT, ZOOM, and FOCUS positions
• IRIS level
• Shutter speed (SHUTTER)
• Gain (AGC) setting
• Electronic sensitivity enhancement (SENS
UP) setting
• White balance (WHITE BAL) setting 
• IMAGE HOLD
• AREA TITLE
• PRIVACY ZONE
• CAMERA ID
• PAN LIMIT
• ZOOM LIMIT
• TILT ANGLE
• BURST
• CLEANING
(2) During Camera Movement
• PAN, TILT, ZOOM, and FOCUS positions
• IRIS operation
• Preset positioning 
• The auto-focus function does not work during
patrol operations. The image goes out of focus
when the camera zooms in from a wide angle
(WIDE), this is caused by the zoom lens
mechanism. The fuzziness in the image can be
reduced by starting from a telephoto angle
(TELE) when registering a zoom operation.
• In the patrol play mode, the camera movement
may occasionally deviate from the entered
routine when the routine includes a move to a
preset position. If this happens, re-enter the
routine of manual operations for patrol-learn.
• In the patrol play mode, black and white
automatic switching does not work.
•
In the patrol play mode, when the power of the system
controller is turned on or off, the patrol play stops. In
this case, press the PATROL PLAY button again. (If
SELF RETURN is set to ON, the patrol play will start
again after elapsing the setting return time.)
• Patrol movement covers a range from horizontal
to directly below the camera. The digital flip
function (page 39) does not operate. (7) Patrol Function Setting (PATROL) 
The patrol function remembers manual operations for
later automatic playback when they are needed. 
1. Aim the camera, with the menu closed, at the start
point of the routine you want it to remember.
2. Move the cursor to NUMBER, and then tilt the joystick
left or right to specify the number of patrol routines.
Tilting the joystick cycles through settings in the
sequence shown below. The amount of storage
time available depends on the number of routines.
The storage time display changes in the sequence
shown below. (unit: sec, min)
Note that the total patrol time is two minutes, and the
time allowed for each routine depends on the number

							(10) Digital Flip Setting (DIGITAL FLIP) 
Normally, a camera needs to stop when it points
straight down during tilt. With digital flip, however, the
camera is able to tilt from 0° to 180° in a single motion.
This makes it possible to track objects passing directly
under the camera more smoothly. The picture is
flipped vertically and horizontally when the camera is
at an angle of around 135°. 
1. Move the cursor to DIGITAL FLIP, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to toggle it on and off. 
ON :Turns on digital flip. Note that the tilt range
becomes 0° to 90° when ON is selected for
the PAN LIMIT setting. 
OFF :Turns off digital flip. With this setting, the tilt
range is 0° to 90°. 
Notes:
• Digital flip is performed when the joystick is held
straight downwards only. It is not performed
when the joystick is tilted in any other direction.
• When OFF is selected for DIGITAL FLIP, the
following steps need to be performed in order to
tilt the camera 180°.
(1) Tilt the joystick downwards to point the
camera straight down. 
(2) Tilt the joystick left or right to pan the camera
180°. 
(3) Tilt the joystick upwards. 
• Momentarily turn off DIGITAL FLIP and set the
zoom limit to 30x magnification or less before
setting a preset position directly from the WV-
CU360C System Controller. You can turn these
functions back on again after setting the preset
position. 
Note that digital flip cannot be specified for the
90° to 180° tilt range. 
(11) Proportional Pan/Tilt Setting (PROPO. P/T) 
This function optimizes the image by automatically
adjusting the PAN/TILT (horizontal/vertical rotation)
speed according to the zoom ratio.
1. Move the cursor to PROPO.P/T, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to toggle it on and off. 
ON :Pan/tilt speed is in inverse proportion to the
zoom ratio.
OFF :The speed is constant at the fastest level
regardless of the zoom ratio. 
(12) Area Title Setting (AREA TITLE) 
The area title function lets you display a direction
indicator that appears in the picture to indicate the
direction of the location being shown on the screen.
Text can also be displayed in place of the direction
indicators, if desired. 
The direction indicators are N (north), NE (northeast), E
(east), SE (southeast), S (south), SW (southwest), W
(west), and NW (northwest).

							4. Input an area title. 
The text input procedure is the same as that for
camera ID input. 
See steps 3 through 5 under “Camera ID Settings”
on page 24 for information about inputting the text
for the area title and specifying its position on the
display. 
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the other area
numbers, if you want. 
(13) Tilt Angle Setting (TILT ANGLE) 
Selecting 5° for the TILT ANGLE setting allows tilting
past horizontal, in the range of -5° to 185°. 
1. Move the cursor to TILT ANGLE, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to toggle the setting between 0°
and 5°. 
Notes:
• Zooming to WIDE while 5° is selected for the
TILT angle setting will cause the upper half of
the picture to become hidden.
• With certain subjects, AGC (gain control) can
cause the image to become white.  
(14) Cleaning Settings (CLEANING) 
This camera uses a slip ring for transmission of
electrical power and signals. A dirty slip ring can cause
deterioration of picture quality and generation of noise. 
The cleaning function performs cleaning approximately
once a week to keep the slip ring clean. 
1. Move the cursor to CLEANING, and then tilt the
joystick left or right to toggle it on and off. 
The text CLEANING appears in the center of the
screen while the cleaning process is being
performed. 
Note:Select OFF for CLEANING when the system
controller uploads or downloads the preset data.
This protects against the download or upload failure
due to start up of the cleaning process.  6. Use the joystick to select an area title display
position, and then press the MON (ESC) button. 
This registers the area title display position and
returns to the area title (NESW) setting menu.

(SET) button. 
This will display the position setting menu. An asterisk
(*) to the right of an area title number indicates that it
already has an area title assigned to it.
If the there is already text associated with the
direction you selected, it will appear under the
cross mark (+). If there is no text associated with
the direction, only the cross mark (+) will be
displayed. 
2. Adjust the camera orientation (pan and tilt), zoom,
and focus.
