### FOCUS ASSIST

Clicking [FOCUS ASSIST] in the configuration menu displays the [FOCUS ASSIST] screen.

If you have already completed focus adjustment on the camera, you do not need to follow the adjustment procedures described here.

You may also configure the back focus position switching mode as required to automatically adjust the back focus position when switching between the color and black-and-white video modes.

The configured settings will be applied commonly to “CAM1” and “CAM2” selected under [VIEW].

#### Adjusting focus

You can fine-adjust the focus from the configuration menu.

It is recommended to roughly adjust the focus using the lens levers and the buttons provided on the left-side face of the camera during installation.

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.

1Select the [MANUAL] check box.

You can now operate the NEAR, FAR, DEFAULT, and ONE PUSH buttons.

2Click ONE PUSH to focus on the subject.

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

If the camera fails to focus on the subject, the status indicator (A) will show “ERROR”. In this case, manually adjust the focus (in Step 3).

3Click NEAR/FAR to focus on the subject.

The back focus position has been changed.

To restore the default back focus position during re-adjustment etc., click DEFAULT.
While the camera is initializing the back focus position, the status indicator (A) shows “INITIALIZING”.

4Deselect the [MANUAL] check box.

Be sure to deselect the check box to prevent the loss of focus due to wrong operation.

The check box is automatically deselected if you switch from the focus adjustment screen to another screen.
