The tools on this page can be used to nd the optimal focus position. Always open the iris before focusing and enable it when nished
focusing. Focus is measured in the part of the image covered by the Focus window. Use the mouse to move and resize the window
and then click Fine-tune focus automatically. If needed, click in the Focus position bar or on the arrows at the ends of the bar, to
further adjust the focus. The buttons < and > move the focus position one step in either direction. The buttons << and >> move the
focus position multiple steps in either direction. Clicking on the bar sets focus to that position. If the camera is not focused after
completing the above instructions, try the Full range focus scan. The scan, which can take several minutes, transforms the focus
position bar to a graph where peaks indicate the best focus positions. Click in the graph to set focus to the desired position.
