Appendix A - Lenses and Focusing

The AXIS 2110 features a replaceable CS-type Tele/Wide Zoom lens that can be targeted for different applications. Using rotational focus control, the lens must first be focused under normal, stable conditions to optimize the image quality for the camera.

The camera can be focused manually, or with the help of the Focus Assistant. The latter is useful if your AXIS 2110 is located remotely from your viewing workstation. Having positioned the camera, follow the instructions below to focus it.

Important!

Although the AXIS 2110 is intended for both outdoor and indoor use, it is important to note that the charged coupled device (CCD) in the camera can become permanently damaged if it is exposed to too much direct sunlight or halogen light. Therefore, it is important that the Adjustment Ring is not set fully open when installing the camera in bright light conditions. The Axis warranty does not cover CCD dam- age caused by prolonged exposure to strong light.

Manual Focusing

Power-on the AXIS 2110 and wait 10 seconds.

The Iris Adjustment Ring effectively closes and opens the camera lens to regulate the amount of light entering the camera. Closing the ring reduces the amount of light to pro- duce a better depth of field and focus over a greater distance. Whereas, a more open lens provides better results in low-light condi- tions.

Rotate the Iris Adjustment Ring to an appro- priate position for your chosen installation, as follows:

indoor scene - fully open (O)

outdoor scene - mid position (between C and O)
