4. AI Noise Reduction: The built-in AI-powered noise reduction chip helps maintain clear voice clarity by minimizing background noise during video calls or recordings. Locate the AI Noise Reduction ON/OFF switch on the camera body to activate or deactivate this feature.

Use AF-S for still objects or documents to achieve a sharp, stable focus. A switch on the camera body allows you to select the desired mode.
6. Adjusting the Camera Arm: The multi-joint design allows for flexible positioning to capture various document sizes (e.g., A4, A3) or close-up views. Adjust the arm to ensure the entire subject is within the camera's field of view.
