↓: Is applicable to the fixed or manual iris lens.

1. Under bright lighting conditions such as outdoors, use an ALC lens because the ELC

control range is not wide enough under these conditions.

2. Use an ALC type lens if the following phenomena occur:

• Strong smear and/or blooming on highlighted objects such as a spotlight or sunlight

from windows.

• Noticeable flicker in the picture and/or color rendition variations.

3. If ELC is selected, SUPER-D3 and SHUTTER are not available and the white balance

mode is automatically set to ATW1 or ATW2 previously set.

4. If ELC is selected and a fixed iris lens is used, the focal depth becomes shallower

than with the use of an ALC lens. Therefore, the range of focus-to-object distance
becomes narrower.

Remove the mount adapter from the bottom
of the camera by removing the two fixing
screws. Attach the mount adapter to the top
as shown in the figure, then mount the cam-
era on the mounting bracket.

Be sure to use two original fixing screws for
the mount adapter.
Longer screws may damage the inner com-
ponents. Or shorter screws may cause the
camera to fall down.

Before adjustment, read the Hints column below. 
This adjustment is available only if SETUP-SW LOCK is set to OFF in the BACK-FOCUS
SETUP menu.

1. Aim the camera at the targeting objects and if applicable adjust the zoom angle.
2. Press the SET button.

→ A bar graph with "I" cursor and INDICA-

TOR (4-digit number) will be overlaid on
the camera picture.

→ Back focus will be automatically adjust-

ed.

3. If needed, perform manual adjustment using

the L and R buttons to obtain the best focus
on the targeted object while observing the
picture. See INDICATOR for reference.

The bar graph will disappear if no operation is
performed for around 10 seconds.
This adjustment can be also performed on the setup menu.
Refer to 16. Back-focus Setting for details.

Important: Do not use the ABF function for continuous or repetitive purposes (ex. auto-

focus etc.). This function is to be used to correct defocus caused by switching between
color and black - and - white when/after installing the camera.

(2) Solder the lens cable to the pins of the sup-

plied connector.

The pin assignment is as follows.
Pin 1: Power source; +9 V DC, 50 mA max.
Pin 2: Not used
Pin 3: Video signal; 0.7 V [P-P]/40 k

Ω

Pin 4: Shield, ground

Follow the directions shown in the figure for the
protrusion between a lens and the camera
body. This camera has a mount for use with the
CS-mount lens shipped from the factory.
Use the supplied C-mount adapter when using
the C-mount lens.
A lens less than 450 

g {0.99 lbs} can be mount-

ed on the camera. If the lens is heavier, both
the lens and camera should be secured by the
supporter.

1. Attach the supplied C-mount adapter when

using a C-mount lens.

2. Mount the lens.

• Adjustment procedures vary depending on the lens. Refer to the instructions includ-

ed with the lens.

• Reset the back-focus by pressing the L and R buttons simultaneously on the cam-

era, and adjust the back-focus. 

• Move the lens focus to the FAR-end when using a fixed-focal lens (lens focus

adjustable type), and adjust the back-focus.

• It is recommended that you lower the lighting for the object to be as dim as possi-

ble when adjusting the focus with an auto iris lens. This will make the iris open and
will result in an accurate focus even though the lighting conditions vary. This may
be slightly different from the best focus point in a specific lighting condition.

• Compared with cases under visible lights, using near-infrared lights may somewhat

deviate the focus. It is recommended that you select AUTO or PRESET for C/L 

← →

B/W in the BACK-FOCUS SETUP menu to obtain a proper focus for each of visible
and near-infrared lights.

1. Aim at the objects 10 meters away or more to adjust the back-focus.
2. For 8x and 10x class lenses, set the zoom to the WIDE-end and the focus to the

FAR-end, and then adjust the back focus.

3. For 2x and 3x class lenses, set the zoom to the TELE-end and the focus to the FAR-

end, and then adjust the back focus.

4. Aim the camera at the targeted objects to place them in the center then coarsely

adjust the zoom angle and the focus of the lens. Finally, perform adjustment of the
back-focus in either ways of using ABF (automatically) or MANUAL-ADJ (manually).

Note: There may be lenses having an extended range in lens focus adjustment, except

Panasonic lenses. When using such a lens, set the lens focus back appropriately
from the applicable end position in the above step 2 and 3 depending on the lens,
and then perform back-focus adjustment. The back-focus will not be properly
adjusted if the lens focus is positioned into the extended range.
