Mounting and focusing S-Mount lenses
This section instructs how to use S-Mount lenses with your camera safely. S-Mount
lenses are screwed into the mount to adjust focus. Vibration moves lenses out of
position. Several techniques can be used to fasten S-Mount lenses in focus. We
recommend using fixing nuts. See instructions in this section.
