Adjusting The Lens

Make sure that you see the live image of the camera on the monitor of your computer or
laptop. 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.
• Release the lock ring of the lens, adjust the image sharpness and
tighten the lock ring again. 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.
We do not recommend (even) aligning the telephoto lens horizontally due to the image
distortions that occur in the top part of the dome for technical reasons.
