AXIS 2100 User’s Guide Adjusting the Camera Focus 37

Focusing the Camera Under Stable Conditions
Before you begin:
With reference to the illustrations, follow the instructions below to achieve a good basic
level of focus under normal stable conditions:
Important!
1. Power-on the AXIS 2100 and then wait at least
10 seconds.
2. Set the AXIS 2100 to its extreme close-focus
position by turning the Camera Lens fully
clockwise (see illustration, right).
3. Press and hold the Control Button using a thin
paper clip, or any other suitably pointed object
(see illustration, below) - until the Status
Indicator flashes Yell ow.
The Focus Assistant is now enabled with the Status Indicator set to Focus Mode; the
AXIS 2100 simultaneously initiates a focusing algorithm that regularly calculates the
quality of focus within the camera's field of view.
4. In order for the Focus Assistant to access the full focusing range for your application
environment, you now turn the lens six full-turns in the anticlockwise direction.
Unless you want to replace the lens, it should not be unscrewed more than 1.0mm
apart from the Fixed Lens Assembly (see illustration, above-right).
For the focusing algorithm to work effectively, always ensure that there is minimal movement within the
camera’s field of view when focusing, as described below.
Do not press the Control Button for at least 10 seconds after powering on the unit - as this will cause
the product to return to the factory default settings.
1.0mm max.
