iris is fully open and set
the Focus ring for ∞ (or
distant object).
•Adjust Backfocus with
CCD IRIS switch initially
set to the OFF position.
•Use the C/CS adjust-
ment POT on the side of

necessary, for optimal
lighting.

control for best picture.

as was done for V ariable Light
conditions except CCD iris is
left in the OFF position; there-
fore, there is no need to ad-
just the LVL control; follow all
other steps, however.

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 backfocus appropriate to your camera/lens
combination.
