Mounting the lens
Observe the notes below before you mount a lens to the Alvium CSI-2 camera.
Mounting and focusing S-Mount lenses
This section instructs how to use S-Mount lenses with your camera safely.
S-Mount lenses are screwed into the mount to adjust focus. Vibration moves
lenses out of position. Several techniques can be used to fasten S-Mount lenses in
focus. We recommend using fixing nuts. See instructions in this section.
CAUTION
Cuts to the skin by sharp edges of lens mounts
The threads of the lens mount and the lens itself have sharp edges.
• Be careful when mounting or unmounting lenses.
NOTICE
Damage to sensor or optics by unsuitable lenses
Sensor, filter, or lens can be damaged, if a lens exceeding maximum protrusion is
mounted to the camera.
• Use lenses only up to the specified the maximum protrusion, see Lens mounts,
filters, and maximum protrusion on page 45.
• S-Mount lenses must be screwed into the camera less than maximum
protrusion (11.0 mm), see
Mounting and focusing S-Mount lenses on page 70.
• Avoid short S-Mount lenses falling into the camera.
