camera
The lens section is not included with the camera. It is possible to mount a 1/3 type
video camera lens to the camera.It is recommended to use a recommended high-res-
olution lens especially when the illuminance level of the photographic subject is low
and the camera is used with the lens iris open. If a lens other than the recommended
lens is mounted and the camera is used at a resolution of 1280 x 720 or higher, the
camera cannot achieve full performance of high resolution.
Refer to our website (http://security.panasonic.com/pss/security/support/info.html) for
further information about the recommended lens.
* When using a lens made by other companies, use a lens that has a protruded por-
tion from the mount face of ø20 mm {25/32 inches} or less and a protruded portion
from the flange face of 4.5 mm {5/32 inches} or less.

Note:
● The most common use of a varifocal lens and a zoom lens
Note that the adjustment method is different depending on the type. For
further information, refer to the operating instructions for the lens to be
used.
When using 8x or 10x lens, adjust the back focus after positioning the
zoom ring at the "W" end and positioning the focus ring at a step short of
the "F" end.
When using 2x or 3x lens, adjust the back focus after positioning the
zoom ring at the "T" end and positioning the focus ring at a step short of
the "F" end.
● Depending on the lens to be used, if the zoom ring is fully rotated in the
"W" direction, the periphery may become dark. In such a case, rotate the
zoom ring in the "T" direction for readjustment.
● When images in the near-infrared light area change from the color mode
to the black & white mode, out-of-focus may be occurred according to the
nature of optical property. In this case, the focus can be corrected by
selecting "Auto" or "Preset" for "Adjusting method" on the setup menu
(The focus will not automatically be adjusted according to the illumination
level change once the focus is corrected.) Refer to the Operating
Instructions (included in the CD-ROM) for how to configure the "Adjusting
method" setting on the setup menu.
● When shooting the following subjects, it may have difficulty adjusting the
