Image Adjustment

1.Connect an adjusting monitor to the monitor output jack.

2.Pan, tilt and azimuth adjustment Important:

Do not touch the iris motor. Failure to observe this may cause trouble.

Do not hold the camera by the lens unit when adjusting panning, tilting, or azimuth.

At the same time for the pan and tilt adjust- ments, make zoom and focus adjustments of Step 3.

qRotate the panning table to adjust the panning position of the camera. (Range: 320 °)

The adjusting range is from +180 ° (clockwise) to –140 ° (counterclockwise).

Tighten the panning table lock screw after adjusting.
