Adjustment of C-Mount
The C-Mount is adjusted at the factory and should not require adjusting. If for
some reason the lens mount requires adjustment, use the following method.
Loosen the locking ring
Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the locking ring. Be careful not to scratch the
camera. When the locking ring is loose, unthread the ring a few turns from the
camera face.
Adjusting the lens to infinity
Precondition: Use a C-Mount compatible lens that allows an infinity focus
1.
Set the lens to infinity and image a distant object (10 m to 15 m). Make sure
the lens is firmly threaded onto the C-Mount ring.
2.
Rotate the lens and C-Mount ring until the image is focused.
3.
Carefully tighten the locking ring and recheck focus.
