<Back focus adjustment>

The back focus adjustment is performed by changing the distance between the lens and focal point. Follow the procedure below.

Important:

The auto back focus function is used for back focus adjustment at installation and for focus correction at switching between the color and black-and-white modes after installation. This function is not a function that is supposed to be operated contin- uously such as the auto focus function.

When focus missing occurs due to secular change in the lens and installation environment or peripheral temperature change, the back focus adjustment is required again.

Note:

• The back focus adjustment can be also performed through the operation buttons. (+ Installation Guide.)
