The recommended wire size for 24 V AC power cord is shown below:
12 V DC
Calculation of the relation among the cable length, resistance, and power supply. 
The voltage supplied to the camera shall be between 10.8 V DC and 16 V DC. 
10.8 V DC ≤ VA - 2 (R x I x L) ≤ 16 V DC 
L: Cable length (m)
R: Resistance of copper wire (Ω/m) 
VA: DC output voltage of power supply unit
I: DC current consumption (A)
    See specifications.  
Resistance of copper wire [at 20 °C]
k Adjust the camera angle by loosening the screw of the camera mount bracket 
while viewing the video monitor.
   Be sure to loosen the screw of the camera mount bracket when the camera angle is adjusted. 
If the camera angle is changed when the screw is tight, excessive force is applied to the cam-
era mount bracket and camera, and accordingly they may be damaged. Be sure to tighten the 
screw securely after camera angle adjustment.
l Adjust the focus.
   To use a fixed-focal lens
   When adjusting the focus with a fixed-focal lens, use the back focus adjustment knob.
   Adjust the focus with the focus assist function
 The view angle and aperture can be adjusted according to the distance of the photographic 
subject. Adjust the view angle and focus when adjusting the camera angle.
 1 Loosen the zoom lock knob. Adjust the view angle  
with the zoom and focus ring according to the  
photographic subject.
 2 Tighten the zoom lock knob.
 3 Press the [SET] button.
  → The "FOCUS ADJUSTMENT" screen will appear. 
   The focus assist function will be activated to perform 
the optimum adjustment.

 4 When the focus ring is positioned near the best focus position, the position will  
automatically be memorized as the "PEAK HOLD" position (the higher the value is, the 
closer it is to the focus point).
 5 When the focus ring is moved, the current focus position will be indicated on 
"INDICATOR". Adjust the focus position so that the indicator value goes close to the 
"PEAK HOLD" position.
 6 When the indicator value goes to the best focus position, "BEST FOCUS" will be displayed 
in reverse at the lower right corner of the screen.
 7 Press the [SET] button again to close the "FOCUS ADJUSTMENT" menu. (No operation for  
3 minutes also closes the menu.)
Important:
 • If  the  view  angle  changes  during  adjustment,  press  the  [SET]  button  to  close  the  "FOCUS  
ADJUSTMENT" screen (once the view angle changes, the "PEAK HOLD" and "INDICATOR" 
values will also change), and repeat from step 3 after the view angle is fixed.
 • When  shooting  in  the  following  place  or  following  subjects,  press  the  [SET]  button  again  to 
close the "FOCUS ADJUSTMENT" screen. Adjust to the best focus position while viewing the 
image.
