Preparations (Step 3 Adjusting the Camera)

Back-focus Adjustment

At the factory, back-focus is set at the point for the widest range of use for CS-mount. However, it is necessary to readjust back focus if a zoom or C-mount lens is used or if focus cannot be attained using the focus ring of the lens. To adjust, follow the procedures described below.

In order to adjust back-focus appropriately, use the iris adjustment function and an ND filter to re- lease the lens iris before proceeding with the adjustment. (An ND filter acts to reduce the overall amount of light entering the lens equally over all wavelengths.)

Connect the MONITOR OUT terminal on the rear panel to the monitor TV. To adjust, follow the procedures described below.
