Focus

The Focus page provides tools and step-by-step
instructions for focusing the AXIS P1346/-E/AXIS
P1347. See also the Installation Guide supplied with
the product.
For most applications, the adjustments on the Basic
tab are sufficient. If required, additional adjustments
can be made on the Advanced tab.
Before focusing, always click Open iris to open the iris
to its maximum. This gives the smallest depth of field
and thus best conditions for correct focusing. After
focusing, click Enable iris to enable the iris again.
Basic
Follow the on-screen instructions on the Basic tab to
adjust zoom and focus.
The pixel counter is used to determine the number of
pixels in an area of the image. To position the pixel
counter, click and drag the window to the desired
position.
Notes:
• The back focus (step 2) should only be reset if the camera has been focused previously.
• Set focus as precisely as possible using the focus puller on the lens (step 3) before starting the automatic fine-tuning
(step 4).
• If the camera is placed so that it is difficult to look at the image and move the pullers at the same time, you can use
the Focus Assistant to focus the camera; for instructions, see the Installation Guide supplied with the product.
Advanced
The tools on this page can be used to find the optimal focus position. Always open the iris before focusing and enable it when
finished focusing.
Focus is measured in the part of the image covered by the focus window. Use the mouse to move and resize the window and
then click Fine-tune focus automatically. If needed, click in the Focus position bar or on the arrows at the ends of the bar, to
further adjust the focus. The buttons < and > move the focus position one step in either direction. The buttons << and >>
move the focus position multiple steps in either direction. Clicking on the bar sets focus to that position.
If the camera is not focused after completing the above instructions, try the Full range focus scan. The scan, which can take
several minutes, transforms the focus position bar to a graph where peaks indicate the best focus positions. Click in the graph
to set focus to the desired position.
Note:
Movements in front of the camera should be avoided during the automatic fine-tuning and the full range focus scan.
