Appendix C
Adapter Adjustment and Focusing
Procedures
Adjustable C-Mount Adapter
PIXIS cameras are now available with an adjustable C-mount adapter. The camera is
adjusted at the factory for standard C-mount focusing distance. However, you may want
to adjust the focusing distance for your application.
Tools Required
Spanner (supplied)
Small flat blade screwdriver
Procedure
1. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, loosen the
lock screws.
2. Use the spanner to rotate the C-mount adapter the
desired distance.
3. Tighten the lock screws to lock the C-mount
adapter in place.
Note: To tighten down the screws, the face of the
adapter should be no further than .06" (1.5 mm)
out from the front surface of the camera nose.
Caution
The C-mount lens thread-depth should be .21" (5.3 mm) or less. Otherwise, depending on
the adapter in-out location, the lens could bottom out and damage the shutter, if there is
one installed. If you are not certain of the thread depth, remove the adapter from the
camera, thread the lens into the adapter until the lens threads are flush with the back
surface of the adapter. Note the depth at the front surface, remove the lens, and then re-
insert the adapter into the camera nose.
