AXIS P1311 - Accessing the Camera
Adjust focus
To focus AXIS P1311 follow the instructions below.
1. Open the product’s home page in a web browser.
2.
Loosen the focus puller and turn the lens gently to focus the
camera. Check the quality of the image in the Live View window.
Note: If the camera is mounted so that one cannot look at the
image and turn the lens at the same time, use the Focus
Assistant instead. See below.
3. Retighten the focus puller.
Adjust focus using the Focus Assistant
To focus AXIS P1311 using the Focus Assistant follow the instructions
below:
1. Mount or place the camera so that it cannot be moved.
2.
Power-on the camera and wait about one minute.
3. Set the camera to its extreme distant-focus position by loosening
the focus puller and turning the lens fully clockwise.
4. Press and quickly release the Control button. When the Status LED
flashes green, the Focus Assistant is enabled.
If the Status indicator LED flashes either red or amber before you
are able to adjust the lens, skip to step 7 to exit the Focus Assistant
and repeat steps 3 -7. See the notes below.
5. Gently turn the lens anti-clockwise until it stops. Do not force the
lens too far or it will separate from the camera.
6. Finally, turn the lens slowly clockwise until the status indicator
flashes green (not red or amber).
7. To exit the Focus Assistant, press the control button again.
Note: The Focus Assistant is switched off automatically after 15
minutes.
8. Retighten the focus puller.
9. Open the Live View page in a web browser and check the quality of
the image.
Notes:
• The view in front of the camera should not be changed during focus adjustment (steps 5 and 6). If the camera is
moved, or if a finger or other object is placed in front of the lens, steps 3 -7 will have to be repeated.
• If movements in front of the camera cannot be avoided, the Focus Assistant should not be used.
• If the control button is not released within two seconds, AXIS Dynamic DNS Service is enabled instead of the Focus
Assistant.
• If the camera is mounted so that the Control button cannot be accessed, you can still use the Focus Assistant. Follow
the instructions above but mount the camera after step 4 (pressing the Control button) instead and skip step 7.
Adjusting the back focus
The back focus of the AXIS P1311 might need to be adjusted when attaching
a new lens that has specifications that are different from the original lens.
Turn the back focus screw clockwise to move the senso
r away from the lens
by 0.5 mm/r. Do not force the screw beyond the end stop since it can damage
the camera.
