Adjust Focus
To adjust the zoom and focus follow these instructions:
Note
• Set the focus as precise as possible with the focus puller or Focus Assistant before starting automatic fine tuning. Using the
focus puller normally gives the best result.
• The iris should always be opened to its maximum while focusing. This gives the smallest depth of field and thus the
best conditions for correct focusing.
1. Open the product’s home page and go to Setup > Basic Setup > Focus .
2. Under the Basic tab, click Open iris . If the button is inactive the iris is already open.
3. If focus has been set before, click Reset to reset the back focus.
4. Loosen the zoom and focus pullers (see Hardware Overview on page 7 ) on the lens by turning them counter-clockwise.
Move the pullers to set zoom and focus and check the quality of the image in the image window.
If the camera is mounted so that one cannot look at the image and move the pullers at the same time, use the Focus
Assistant instead. See
Focus Assistant on page 20 .
5. Loosen the zoom puller and the lock screw for the focus ring (see Hardware Overview on page 7 ) on the lens by turning
them counter-clockwise. Move the zoom puller and the focus ring to set zoom and focus and check the quality of
the image in the image window.
If the camera is mounted so that you cannot look at the image and move the zoom puller and the focus ring at the same
time, use the Focus Assistant instead. See
Focus Assistant on page 20 .
6. Re-tighten the zoom and focus pullers.
