Focus
You can focus the Axis product under Video & Audio > Focus. For most app lications, the adjustments on the Basic tab are sufficient.
If required, additional adjustments can be made on the Advanced tab. Before focusing, always click Open iris to open the iris to its
maximum. This gives the smallest depth of field and thus best conditions for correct focusing. Click Enable iris when finished focusing.
Basic
Follow the on-screen instructions on the Basic tab to adjust zoom and focus. The pixel counter is used to determine the num ber of
pixels in an area of the image, for example to e nsure that the image size fulfills s
pecific r equirements. To position the pixel counter,
click o n the text and drag the window to the desired position.
Note
• The back focus (step 2) should only be reset if the camera has been focused previously.
• Set focus as precisely as possible using the focus puller on the lens (step 3) before starting the automatic fine-tuning
(step 4).
• If the camera is placed so that it is difficult to look at the image and m ove the pullers at the same time, you can use the
Focus Assistant to focus the camera; for inst ructions , se e the Installation Guide supplied with the product.
