1. Adjust the Tele/Zoom ring to the desired
setting (see illustration on page 36).
2. Set the Focus Ring to its extreme far-focus
position by turning it fully clockwise.
3. Rotate the Iris Adjustment Ring to an
appropriate position for your installation, as
follows:
• indoor scene - fully open (O)
• outdoor scene - mid position (between C
and O)
4. Press and hold the Control Button using a
paper clip, or any other suitably pointed
object (see illustration) - until the Status
Indicator flashes Yellow. This enables the Focus Assistant, sets the Status Indicator to
Focus Mode, and simultaneously starts a focusing algorithm that regularly calculates
the quality of focus within the camera's field of view.
5. Slowly turn the Focus Ring six full-turns counter-clockwise.
6. Finally, turn the Focus Ring slowly clockwise until the Status Indicator displays Green;
that is, until a Good level of focus is achieved. The Status Indicator displays different
colors to represent a predefined level of focus (see table below).
7. Return to your browser application and review the picture quality. Repeat step 5 only if
you consider the focal distance as too distant - until you are satisfied with both the
focal distance and focus quality.
8. To exit the Focus Assistant: press and hold the Control button until the Status
Indicator flashes Yellow. The Status Indicator displays Green when the Focus Assistant
is closed.
Notes:
•The Focus assistant can also be enabled and disabled from the Image-Focus page.
•A Good level of focus is normally attainable throughout several planes within the camera's
focusing spectrum.
•The Status Indicator displays Green to indicate a Good level of focus at 80% of optimum focus.
•Since optimum focusing is dependent on the camera's field of view, it is important to scan the
focusing plane from the closest to furthest perspectives before attempting any fine-tuning.
