You can choose from the four Scene Modes (Portrait, Sports, Low Light, and Spotlight) to quickly adapt to different shooting conditions. The Hybrid AF system will usually take care of autofocus, but you can also switch to manual focus if needed. When you're ready to record, the red tally lamp on the front of the lens will let everyone know the camera is active. You can control the camera's pan, tilt, and zoom functions either locally or remotely using the supported controllers. If you're using a remote controller, make sure it's paired correctly with the camera. When it comes to maintenance, keep the camera in a clean and dry environment. The operating temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C, and the humidity should be from 10% to 90% without condensation. Clean the lens gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid touching the lens with your fingers as it can leave smudges. If you're not using the camera for a long time, store it in its original case. Make sure to update the camera's firmware regularly to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with new features.
