2.1 Camera
NOTE
: A lens cap is installed on each camera to keep dust from getting on the optical sensor or
components when it is shipped. Remove the lens cap and install your lens in a dust free
environment.
2.1.1 Mounting the Camera
The
Mega
Plus Camera Head has four threaded screw holes for mounting, two on the bottom and
two on the top of the camera body. All holes accept 1/4-20 threaded screws. In most situations
the camera is attached to a tripod via the mounting point on the bottom of the Camera Head. It is
a good practice to mount the camera head on the tripod before attaching a lens to the camera.
Figure 2-1. Camera Body
2.1.2 Attaching the Lens
The camera can be purchased with either a C-mount or F-mount lens adapter. If your camera is
equipped with an F-mount lens adapter, insert the lens into the locking ring, then rotate the lens
counterclockwise until it clicks into position. To remove the lens, hold the release button down as
you rotate the lens clockwise.
If your camera is equipped with a C-mount lens adapter, screw the lens clockwise into the
adapter until you are no longer able to turn the lens with light pressure.
CAUTION
: Some C-mount lenses may extend into the camera more than 0.20 inches
(5.08 mm), which may cause damage to internal optical components. Check the
dimension of any lens you plan to use as shown in Figure 2-2.
