Notes: •A Good level of focus is normally attainable throughout several planes within the camera’s focus- ing spectrum.

•The Status Indicator displays Green to indicate a Good level of focus at 80% of optimum focus.

•Since optimum focusing is dependent on the camera’s field of view, it is important to scan the focusing plane from the closest to furthest perspectives before attempting any fine-tuning.

7.To exit the Focus Assistant: press and hold the Control button until the Status Indicator flashes Yellow. The Status Indicator displays Green when the Focus Assistant is closed.

Replacing the Lens

Because the AXIS 2100 is designed with a CS-mount, the lens supplied with your camera can be replaced with any standard CS or C lens typically used in the security/CCTV industry. Contact a security/CCTV reseller in your area for more information.

Note: Although the lens supplied with your camera can be replaced with any CS-type lens, a C-type lens must first be fitted with an adaptor for it to work with your AXIS 2100. This adaptor effec- tively moves the lens 5mm farther from the camera.

Follow the instructions below to replace the supplied lens with any C or CS type lens:

1. Unscrew the AXIS 2100 lens.

2. C-lens only: Attach the new lens to a CS-C Adapter.

3. Screw the new lens onto the AXIS 2100. If applicable, adjust the iris according to the prevailing light conditions.

4. Referring to Focusing the Camera Under Stable Conditions, on page 33, adjust the camera focus.

5. Reload your Web browser and
check the results from the	CS-C Adaptor
