Preparations (Step 3 Adjusting the Camera)
At the factory, back-focus is set at the point for the widest range of use for
CS-mount. However, it is necessary to readjust back focus if a zoom or C-mount
lens is used or if focus cannot be attained using the focus ring of the lens. To
adjust, follow the procedures described below.
In order to adjust back-focus appropriately, use the iris adjustment function and an ND filter to re-
lease the lens iris before proceeding with the adjustment. (An ND filter acts to reduce the overall
amount of light entering the lens equally over all wavelengths.)
