10. Troubleshooting 10.1. Focus Issues If the video appears out of focus, check that the lens is focused properly. Typically, a lens is pre-installed and is pre-focused for an optimal head shot distance of 3.5 to 7 feet from the camera. If your subject is out of that range then you will need to make a slight adjustment to the lens. - Page 24 Windows XP Make sure that the camera is plugged into one of the USB ports. Insert the Credential Cam Pro CD that was provided with the camera into a CD-ROM drive. The “CredCamPro Installation Wizard” software will not run automatically.
