Focus Assistant
Note
• The view in front of the camera should not be changed during focus adjustment (steps
5 and 6). If the camera is moved, or if a finger or other object is placed in front of the
lens, steps 3 - 7 will have to be repeated.
• If movements in front of the camera cannot be avoided, the Focus Assistant should not
be used.
• If the camera is mounted so that the Function button cannot be accessed, you can still
use the Focus Assistant. Follow the instructions below but mount the camera after step
4, pressing the Function button instead and skip step 7.
To focus your network camera using the Focus Assistant, follow steps 1 - 3 under Adjust Focus on
page 19 before you start with the steps below. See Hardware Overview on page 10 .
1. Mount or place the camera so that it cannot be moved.
2. Loosen the zoom puller by turning it counter-clockwise. Move the puller to set the
zoom level. Re-tighten the zoom puller.
3. Set the camera to its extreme distant-focus position by loosening the focus puller and
turning the lens fully clockwise.
4. Press and quickly release the Function button. When the Status LED flashes green, the
Focus Assistant is enabled.
If the Status LED flashes either red or amber before you are able to adjust the lens, skip
to step 7 to exit the Focus Assistant and repeat steps 3 - 7. See the notes above. See
Status LED Behavior for Focus Assistant on page 13 .
