LENS FOCUS
After mounting the lens, you must focus your C10CH Series camera. Adjust both the back focus (on the camera) and the fine focus (on the lens).
NOTE: The back focus has already been adjusted using a standard CS mount lens. However, you might need to adjust it again to match the mounted lens.
1.Auto iris only: Cover the auto iris lens with a suitable neutral density (ND) filter. This opens the iris completely. For best results, use a ND3 filter.
