5.2  Focusing the Camera 

An important factor to receive good quality photo finish images is to focus the camera. Only a 
good adjustment of the aperture (focus) guarantees good pictures. Additionally, it is im-
portant that you select the correct scan rate.  

5.2.1  Adjustment of Focus (Aperture) 

Adjust the aperture with the first (front) ring of the lens 
(for manual lenses). If you have a motorized zoom 
execute the adjustment from the OPTIc2NET  soft-
ware on the PC (see chapter 7.4  Motor Zoom Lens 
Adjustment. 
 
Adjust the zoom so that you see the required finish 
area  on  the monitor. Look at the middle part of the 
finish line. The more details you see at this part of the 
picture the better is the adjustment. 

5.2.2  Scan Rate 

The finish line is scanned by the photo finish 
camera between 100 and 3000 times per sec-
ond. The adjustable scan rate depends on the 
speed of the object that you want to record and 
of the distance between the camera and the 
recorded object. 
 
As reference value for the scan rate for different 
sports at a full vertical camera resolution of 
1360 pixel, refer to below stated table (please 
note that the given values may vary extremely if 
one of the above given parameter does not ap-
ply, values stated in lines per second).
