7.If needed, perform manual adjustment using the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] buttons to obtain the best focus on the targeted object while observing the picture. See the value of INDICATOR on the monitor. (The larger the value is, the better the picture quality becomes.)

Notes:

•The bar graph will disappear if no operation is performed for around 10 seconds.

•When changing the angular field of view, move the zoom lever and focus lever again for adjustment.

<Zoom/focus adjustment>

When shooting an object using an AF lens, the first adjusted focus may be out-of-focus depending on the focal depth of the lens in use. In this case, focus on a darker object with the aperture open to prevent out-of-focus.

When "ABF" is selected for "BACK-FOCUS" on the SETUP menu (refer to p. 41), the camera can automatically focus on a subject with the best available conditions even when the illumination changes.

•Under near-infrared light, the focus may be slightly out-of-focus than under visible light.

When the "BACK-FOCUS SETUP" page is displayed and "AUTO" or "PRESET" is selected for "C/L ↔ B/W" using the operation buttons on the camera, the camera can focus on sub-

jects both under near-infrared light and under visible light. (However, the camera will not change the focus according to the illumination change when the focus had been adjusted once.)

<How to use a variable focal lens>

Before adjusting the variable focal lens, reset the flange-back (back focal) length position to the default position for the CS-mount (by simultaneously pressing the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] buttons for 2 seconds or more, or by simultaneously pressing the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] buttons after pressing the [SET] button when the cursor is on "MANUAL-ADJ" on the "BACK-FOCUS SETUP" page.
