Adjusting The Lens - Mobotix D16 DualDome Manual

D16 Camera Manual: Installation

Make sure that you see the live image of the camera on the monitor of your computer or lap-
top. Now adjust the lenses one by one until you see the desired image area on your monitor:
Remove the camera dome using a lint-free cotton cloth.
•
• Adjust the image sharpness by turning the lens. Never turn the lens too far or with
force to avoid damaging the lens mount.
• Mount the dome again using a soft cotton cloth.
The focusing aid provides a visual aid when setting the image sharpness of a MOBOTIX
camera lens (see the The Focusing Aid Of The Camera section on the The Live View Of
The MOBOTIX Camera page in the camera online help).
Image focus: Due to the lens effect of the dome, the focus of the 135 mm telephoto
lens shifts slightly once the dome has been mounted. Before mounting the dome,
rotate the telephoto lens by about 90° in a counterclockwise direction (against the
direction in which the lens is screwed). Make sure that you check the focus of the live
image with the dome installed and readjust the lens, if required.
For technical reasons, it is recommended not to align the telephoto lens horizontally
due to the image distortions that occur in the top part of the dome.
