The purpose of backfocusing is to make the adjustments necessary for the picture to remain in focus throughout the camera‘s zoom
range, which is the case for instance, in motorized zoom, auto-iris configurations. Manual iris lens/camera combinations also need to be
backfocused. Follow the general instructions listed below to adjust back focus appropriate to your camera/lens combination.
NOTE: We are essentially referencing indoor lighting condi-
tions in each of the cases below. If you have occasion to use
fixed lenses in an outdoor setting, where lighting is much brighter
(not widely done with fixed lenses), you may need to filter the
light while performing these adjustments.
• Set the Iris Level con-
trol pot to the H position.
• Adjust or set other cam-
era switches as needed.
• Move CCD Iris switch
to the ON position.
