C-Mount Assembly
The C-mount adapter is a standard threaded video mount with a standard
C-mount flange focal distance and additional travel distance to allow parfocal
adjustment with a variety of instruments. For specifications, see
C-Mount
Adapter
on page 27.
When the C-mount adapter is in place, a lens with optics that protrude a long
distance into the camera may interfere with the shutter blades. To calculate
appropriate measurements, refer to page 27.
C-mount Assembly
To install the C-mount adapter (if not pre-installed):
1. Using the .050” hex wrench provided, back out the set screws so they

remove the set screws.
2. Thread the C-mount adapter onto the lens or instrument adapter. Lock
in place using the .050” hex wrench provided.
3. Thread the C-mount adapter into the camera. (In certain cases, it may
be easier to thread the camera onto the C-mount adapter.)
To focus the camera:
1. If needed, back out the set screws until you can freely rotate the
C-mount adapter.
2. Using the instructions from your software program, bring your
software into focus loop mode. For instructions on using CAMTEST
™
to focus, see the
Focusing the Camera
section of the
CAMTEST
chapter in
the
Software Guide
.
3. Hold the camera so it does not rotate, then use the lens or instrument
adapter to adjust the C-mount adapter to the desired position.
4. Tighten the set screws until snug.
To remove the C-mount adapter:
