P / T / Z (Pan Tilt Zoom) Menu

The following settings can be adjusted from the P / T / Z menu:

Zoom Mode
OptionsDigital, Optical, SuperZoom
DefaultOptical
NoteSuperZoom effectively doubles the camera's optical zoom while halving the resolution. For example, a 20X 4K camera using SuperZoom becomes a 40X 1080p camera. Panning, Tilting, or Zooming the camera in while using SuperZoom does not cause resolution degradation beyond the initial halving cost. Digital Zoom differs in that it degrades resolution progressively as you digitally zoom in.
