Focusing the Camera Lens
After you have selected the correct picture detail you have to adjust the lens
focus. The focus adjustment needs to be done with the iris fully open, since the
camera has the smallest depth of focus in this position. If the focus adjustment
was not done with the iris completely open, the picture would appear to be
sharp during the day but slowly getting out of focus the more the light
disappears. To fully open the lens, use a grey filter in front of the lens,
provided you are using a lens with automatic iris. Adjust the focus while the iris
is fully open using the lens focus ring. Make sure the most important picture
details are in optimum focus (use a service monitor). If it is not possible to bring
the picture into focus, please adjust the back focus of the camera as described
above.
If you intend to use I.R. illumination at a later stage, you must use an I.R. pass
filter together with the grey filter during focus adjustment to ensure that only I.R.
light will get through to the camera chip and the focus adjustment is done
according to this spectrum, only. Attention: I.R. light can only be used in
combination with mono cameras, not color cameras!
