Lens Focusing

After mounting the lens, you must focus your C10DN Series camera. You will adjust both the back focus (on the camera) and the fine focus (on the lens).

NOTE: The back focus has already been adjusted using a standard CS-mount lens. However, you might need to adjust it again to match the mounted lens.

1.Auto iris only: Cover the auto iris lens with a suitable neutral density (ND) filter; this opens the iris fully. For best results, use an ND3 filter.

2.Manual iris only: Open the iris completely. Figure 8 shows the manual iris, varifocal, and lens focus locking screws for a sample lens. Refer to your lens documentation for more information.
