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.

Adjusting the back focus (AXIS P1311)

Back focus screw

The back focus of AXIS P1311 might need to be adjusted when attaching a new lens that has specifications that are different from the original lens.

Turn the back focus screw clockwise to move the sensor away from the lens by 0.5 mm/r. Do not force the screw beyond the end stop since it can damage the camera.

Adjust zoom and focus (AXIS P1343/P1344/P1346/P1347)

To adjust the zoom and focus follow these instructions:

1.Open the product’s home page and go to Setup > Basic Setup > Focus.

2.Under the Basic tab, click Open iris. If the button is inactive, the iris is already open.

3.If focus has been set before, click Reset to reset the back focus.

4.Loosen the zoom and focus pullers on the lens by turning them anti-clockwise. Move the pullers to set zoom and focus and check the quality of the image in the image window.
