Functions Pan Pan is a function used to move a camera left and right. However this camera supports a video mode much smaller than the image sensor’s effective pixels by cutting out images from the whole screen. You can specify the portion to be cut out using Pan commands. The variable range differs according to the selected video mode. When a video mode is changed, the pan values are set to the default setting. Image Buffer (Memory Shot) The camera has image buffer (Memory Shot) that t
