AF (Auto-focus): The lens remains in focus during PTZ movements.

HAF (Half-auto Focus): The speed dome focuses automatically only once after panning,
tilting and zooming.

This function is used to limit the minimum focus distance. You can configure the focus limit
longer when the target is at a distance, to avoid the speed dome focusing on the objects close to
it; or configure the focus limit shorter when the target is near the speed dome, and avoid it
focusing on the objects father.
You can set FOCUS LIMT as 1CM, 30CM, 1M, 3M or AUTO.
