							[Scan mode]
Select Full scan or Partial scan for the scan mode of
JPEG/MPEG-4 images.
Default:Full scan
Full scan
Images of up to 1280 (H) x 960 (V) pixels can be cap-
tured. The frame rate will be limited to up to 15 frames
(per second) since the progressive scan is used.

tured at high speed (up to 30 frames per second for net-
work output, up to 60 fields per second for analog out-
put). Fast scanning is achieved since the center of the
CCD is scanned by the interlace scanning.
Notes: 
•A motion adaptive interlace/progressive conversion
will be made for network output.
• Angular field of view will be narrower comparing with
the full scan mode since the effective scanning area
turns from 4.8 (H) x 3.6 (V) mm to 3.6 (H) x 
2.7 (V) mm.
