Ensure the lens angle selector is rotated to the appropriate setting. Turn the lens angle selector to
the right so that the lens angle marker is in line with the blue lens angle indicator for "wide angle

with the red lens angle indicator for "standard view".
If your camera is positioned on the floor, simply tilt the camera for extra elevation or swivel the

for extra convenience. DO NOT move the whole camera, just tilt it gently.

pets and above all, other people.
