Adjust Focus

To adjust the zoom and focus follow these instructions:

Note

•Set focus as precisely as possible with the focus puller or Focus Assistant before starting automatic fine tuning. Using the focus puller normally gives the best result.

•The iris should always be opened to its maximum while focusing. This gives the smallest depth of field and thus the best conditions for correct focusing.

1.Open the product’s home page and go to Setup > Basic Setup > Focus.

2.Under the Basic tab, click Open iris. If the button is inactive the iris is already open.

3.If focus has been set before, click Reset to reset the back focus.

4.Loosen the zoom and focus pullers (see Hardware Overview, on page 6 ) on the lens by turning them counter-clockwise. Move the pullers to set zoom and focus and check the quality of the image in the image window. If the camera is mounted so that one cannot look at the image and move the pullers at the same time, use the Focus Assistant instead. See Focus Assistant, on page 18.

5.Re-tighten the zoom and focus pullers.

6.On the Focus page, click Fine-tune focus automatically and wait until automatic fine tuning is completed.

7.Click Enable iris. If the button is inactive the iris is already enabled.

8.If needed, make further adjustments under the Advanced tab. See the online help for more information.
