Focus Assistant

To focus using the Focus Assistant, follow the instructions in steps 1 - 3 on page 19 before you start with the steps below.

1.Mount or place the camera so that it cannot be moved.

2.Loosen the zoom puller by turning it anti-clockwise. Move the puller to set the zoom level. Retighten the zoom puller.

3.Set the camera to its extreme distant-focus position by loosening the focus puller and turning the lens fully clockwise.

4.Press and quickly release the Control button. When the Status LED flashes green, the Focus Assistant is enabled.

If the Status LED flashes either red or amber before you are able to adjust the lens, skip to step 7 to exit the Focus Assistant and repeat steps 3 - 7. See the notes below.

5.Gently turn the lens anti-clockwise until it stops.

6.Finally, turn the lens slowly clockwise until the status indicator flashes green or amber (not red).

7.To exit the Focus Assistant, press the Control button again.

Note: The Focus Assistant is switched off automatically after 15 minutes.

8.Retighten the focus puller.

9.Open the Live View page in the web browser and check the quality of the image.

10.Continue with steps 6 - 8 on page 19.

Notes:

•The view in front of the camera should not be changed during focus adjustment (steps 5 and 6). If the camera is moved, or if a finger or other object is placed in front of the lens, steps 3 - 7 will have to be repeated.

•If movements in front of the camera cannot be avoided, the Focus Assistant should not be used.

•If the Control button is not released within two seconds, AXIS Dynamic DNS Service is enabled instead of the Focus Assistant.

•If the camera is mounted so that the Control button cannot be accessed, you can still use the Focus Assistant. Follow the instructions above but mount the camera after step 4 (pressing the Control button) instead and skip step 7.
