3.3  Camera positioning 

  

Requirements on your camera (device under test, DUT): 

 

maximum lens diameter: 37 mm 

 

minimum lens depth: 10 mm 

Make sure, that  

 

your DUT is as close as possible to the CAL3 opening  

 

the lens is exactly in the middle of the diffusor  

 

the front surface of the lens is least 10 mm inside the diffusor 

 

for lenses >= 160° FOV (field of view) it is recommended to bring the lens at least 

20 mm inside the diffusor 

Not fulfilling these requirements will lead to inhomogeneous illuminated field of view. The 
easiest way to align the camera correctly is to use the optional iQ-Align. (see 2.1)
