Marking the field in setup

During setup, KickCam asks you to tap the field's four corners on the screen. It takes a few seconds and makes the follow much better.

What it does

• Balls and people outside the field are ignored: teams warming up, spectators, parents on the sideline and games on the next pitch.
• The camera won't pan past the ends of the field, so it can't swing round to the crowd, the car park or the fence.
• When the ball is lost, the camera eases back to the middle of the field rather than drifting off.
• After the game, KickCam can suggest corners, free kicks, goal kicks, kick-offs and penalties, because it knows where they happen.

Getting it right

1. Mount and level the camera first, then aim at midfield. The camera stays still during setup.
2. Tap the corners in the order the screen asks. Zoom the screen in if a far corner is hard to see.
3. If you move the tripod, mark the field again.

Indoors with boards, the ball stays in play off the boards, so only the stands and benches count as off the field.
