The OnScreen Control (OSC) provides for convenient configuration of the Panorama, Double Panorama and Panorama/Focus display modes (if available). This control allows panning, tilting and zooming the camera's image to find the optimum image section for your purposes. Moreover, the trapezoid correction allows adjusting the skewed (vertical) lines on the image that are common for this type of lens.
When the OSC is not visible, the PTZ actions in the browser are locked, i.e. you cannot pan, tilt or zoom the image.
Note that you can hide the OSC, if desired. The feature itself, however, is still available when using MxControlCenter or MxEasy. In order to hide the OSC, deactivate the On-Screen PTZ Control option in Setup Menu > vPTZ Settings > More.
To permanently store the configuration in the camera's flash memory, make sure that you permanently store the current configuration in the camera's Flash memory. The simplest way to do this is to open the Manage Settings > Store Complete Configuration Quick Control or to open Admin Menu > Configuration > Store current configuration into flash memory. Note that you need administrator privileges to execute these commands.
If you are selecting a display mode, which contains a Panorama window, you can activate the OnScreen Control:
