As an alternative to the focusing method described in this section, you can also adjust the camera's focus using the Administration Tools - for more information on this, please refer to your on-line help. The AXIS 2100 features a replaceable CS-type lens that can be targeted for different applications. Supporting rotational focus control, the lens must first be focused under normal, stable conditions to optimize the image quality for your camera. Notes: ·The lens rotates on a screw fitting and can be completely removed. If you do need to remove the lens, take care not to let any dust enter the lens or the camera window - as this can adversely affect the quality of your live images. ·The unit is supplied with the lens set in approximate focus position, with focus set to infinity. The Focus Assistant The Status Indicator, used in conjunction with the Focus Assistant, provides an immediate visual display that will help you achieve a good basic level of focus at the point of camera installation. This is particularly useful for remotely installed cameras, where the distance between the AXIS 2100 and your viewing workstation is often considerable. Focus Quality Once set to Focus Mode, the Status Indicator displays the following colors that represent a predefined level of focus: Color Red Yellow Green Level of Focus (%) 0 - 60 60 - 80 80 - 100 Focus Quality Poor Reasonable Good Rotational Focus Control The lens provided with the AXIS 2100 has rotational focus control that allows the focal length of the lens to be adjusted manually. The lens is used to establish the basic level of focus when the image is stable, that is, when there is little or no movement. Rotate the lens clockwise for close focus, or anti-clockwise for distant focus. You will probably find that the Status Indicator displays green, indicating a good level of focus, several times during the full traverse of the lens assembly.
