     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 maximum wide-angle, 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.

    Important
     If you want to use intelligent functions, it is strongly recommended that you use the 
    Preset Setting Tool to register a preset that corresponds to the camera position of the 
    area where you want to use intelligent functions.
     The camera angle will be as follows when the camera is rebooted:
    Home position registered: Camera angle will move to the home position
    Home position not registered: Camera angle will move to the factory default home 
    position
     When using presets registered in digital zoom range, the registered camera 
    positions may not be reproduced with high accuracy. It is recommended that you 
    use presets registered in the optical zoom range for the Intelligent Function.
     Presets that were set with the Preset Setting Tool cannot be used for the settings of 
    intelligent functions.
