Location and Function of Parts and Operation
Front/top/bottom
a
Lens mount (C-mount)
Attach any C-mount lens or other optical equipment.
Note
Use a C-mount lens where the protrusion (a) extending
from the lens mount face (b) is 10 mm (13/32 inch) or
less.
When attaching a lens to the camera, note that the
resolution of the image that is output from the camera
may vary depending on the performance of the lens.
The performance of the same lens may also vary
depending on the aperture value.
If the resolution is insufficient, adjust the aperture value.

Camera mount guide screw holes (top)
c
Camera mount guide screw holes/Tripod
attachment screw holes (bottom)
When using a tripod, use these four screw holes to attach
a VCT-333I Tripod Adaptor.
For details, see “Mounting on a tripod” (page 7).
d
Camera mount reference screw holes (bottom)
These precision screw holes are for securing the camera
module. Securing the unit with these holes minimizes
any optical axis alignment offset.
For details about the size of and position of guide holes
and reference holes, see “Dimensions” (page 44).
