After installing the lens to the camera, you need to perform the following adjustments for the lens.

AFocus Adjustment (FOCUS ASSIST)

BFlange Back Adjustment

CIris Adjustment (IRIS)

Using network operation, you can use the focus assist function to adjust the focus.
You may also configure the back focus position switching mode to automatically adjust the back focus position when switching between the color and black-and-white video modes.
(This function is supported only by VCC-HD2300P/VCC-HD2300)

AFocus Adjustment (FOCUS ASSIST)

Use the focus assist function to accurately focus on subject in high-resolution megapixel image because otherwise doing so would be extremely difficult.

If you are using a varifocal lens, adjust the focus using the following procedure.

If the focus assist function does not work properly because the camera produces too dark or too bright video images, perform iris adjustment C in advance.

The focus must be readjusted if the camera has lost focus due to difference in the subject distance or ambient temperature, the deterioration of the lens and installation environment, and the like that have been caused over the years.

1Press the SET button for 2 seconds or more.

The monitor now shows the SELECT MENU screen.

On the SELECT MENU screen, all information is displayed in English.

2Select [FOCUS ASSIST] using the NEAR/FAR button and press the SET button.

The monitor now shows the focus adjustment screen.

3Use the zoom lever of the lens to adjust the angle of view and the focus lever of the lens to set the FA bar (A) to the maximum level.

When the subject comes into focus, the color of the status indicator (B) “FOCUSING” turns from black to orange.

If the use of the focus lever does not provide precise focusing, follow the “Fine-adjusting focus” procedure described below.

2Press the SET button.

The camera automatically focuses on the subject. Note that the color of the status indicator (B) “FOCUSING” turns from black to orange.

If the camera failes to focus on the subject, the FA bar (A) will not operate normally with the status indicator (B) showing “ERROR”. In this case, manually adjust the focus (in Step3).

Pressing the button causes the back focus position to change, which is indicated in the FB bar gauge (C).

The position changes step by step each time the button is pressed and continuously at a high speed when the button is held down.

If you want to restore the default back focus position in re-adjustment, etc., press the NEAR and FAR buttons simultaneously.
While the camera is initializing the back focus position, the status indicator (B) shows “INITIALIZING”.
