Plane of Focus

The AXIS 2120 has rotational focus control that allows the focal length of the lens to be adjusted manually. Dependent upon the chosen physical location for your camera, it is likely that several planes of focus will exist throughout the full focusing depth of the unit. Consequently, the Status Indicator is likely to display green - indicating a good level of focus - several times throughout the full travel of the lens assembly.

Focusing Procedure

Before you begin:

For the focusing algorithm to work efficiently, always ensure that there is minimal movement within the camera’s field of view when focusing your camera, as described below.

With reference to the accompanying illustrations, follow the instructions below to achieve a good basic level of focus under stable conditions:

Important!

Do not press the Control Button for at least10 seconds after powering up the unit as this will cause the AXIS 2120 to return to the factory default settings.

1.Power up the AXIS 2120 and then wait at least 10 seconds.

2.Turn the lens to its extreme Far-focus (F, ) position.
