Appendix A - Lenses and Focusing

The AXIS 2110 features a replaceable CS-type Tele/Wide Zoom lens that can be targeted
for different applications. Using rotational focus control, the lens must first be focused
under normal, stable conditions to optimize the image quality for the camera.
The camera can be focused manually, or with the help of the Focus Assistant. The latter is
useful if your AXIS 2110 is located remotely from your viewing workstation. Having
positioned the camera, follow the instructions below to focus it.
Important!
Although the AXIS 2110 is intended for both outdoor and indoor use, it is important to note that the
charged coupled device (CCD) in the camera can become permanently damaged if it is exposed to too
much direct sunlight or halogen light. Therefore, it is important that the Adjustment Ring is not set fully
open when installing the camera in bright light conditions. The Axis warranty does not cover CCD dam-
age caused by prolonged exposure to strong light.

Manual Focusing

Power-on the AXIS 2110 and wait 10 seconds.
The Iris Adjustment Ring effectively closes
and opens the camera lens to regulate the
amount of light entering the camera. Closing
the ring reduces the amount of light to pro-
duce a better depth of field and focus over a
greater distance, whereas, a more open lens
provides better results in low-light condi-
tions.
Rotate the Iris Adjustment Ring to an appro-
priate position for your chosen installation,
as follows:
• indoor scene - fully open (O)
• outdoor scene - mid position
(between C and O)
Note:
The unit is supplied with the lens set in approximate focus position, with the focus set to
infinity.
