     The pan and tilt ranges vary depending on the zoom ratio 
    (view angle). 
     If the view restriction will be exceeded as a result of controlling 
    the zoom toward the wide-angle side, 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.
     Reducing the view restriction may also reduce the zoom range.
