Vertical position (Tilting)
Loosen the tilting lock screws (x2), and rotate 
the tilting table to adjust the tilting direction. 
(Adjustable	range:	±75	°)	Since	a	variable	focal	
lens is used, it is possible to change the angu-
lar field of view. This lens can also be rotated in 
the reverse direction, but the image azimuth is 
reversed. In this case, hold down the auto 
focus (AF) button/upside-down button for 5 
seconds or more. The upside-down function 
starts operating and the image azimuth is mod-
ified.
 Horizontal: 24.20° (TELE) to 86.60° (WIDE)
After adjustment, tighten the tilting lock screws (x2) to fix the tilting table. 
(Recommended tightening torque: 0.59 N·m {0.44 lbf·ft})
Note:
	 •	 When	 the	 tilting	 table	 is	 turned	 to	 the	 edge	 of	 the	 adjustable	 range	 (±75	 °),	 it	 must	 be	 noted	 that the shadow of the dome cover may be projected. 
	 •	 When	the	camera	is	installed	to	a	wall,	the	image	is	turned	upside	down	in	the	default	settings.	 The way the image is displayed can be corrected in three ways: rotating the panning table 180° 
clockwise, holding down the auto focus (AF) button/the upside-down but\
ton for 5 seconds or 
more and operating the upside-down function, or selecting "On" for "Upside-\
down" from the 
setup menu.  For information about performing the "Upside-down" setting \
from the setup 
menu, refer to the Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM).

 q  Loosen the zoom lock knob and move the knob between TELE and WIDE to obt\
ain the appro-
priate angle of view.
  w  Press the auto focus (AF) button twice quickly to perform basic adjustme\
nts. The lamp blinks

just the viewing angle 
while watching the screen.
Note:
	 •	
The focus may not be adjusted appropriately when the zoom lock knob is positioned at the "W" 
(or "T") end. In this case, adjust the focus again by slightly moving \
the zoom lock knob to the 
direction of "T" (or "W").
  e  To adjust the angular field of view with a higher zooming effect even after turning the zoom lock 
knob	almost	fully	in	the	"T"	direction,	adjust	the	zoom	ratio	to	the	“Tele”	side	on	the	[Extra	opti-
cal zoom] tab on the setup menu. For information about performing the "E\
xtra optical zoom" 
setting from the setup menu, refer to the Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM). 
  r  Tighten the zoom lock knob.
  t  After fixing the viewing angle, press the auto focus (AF) button once. The auto focus lamp lights 
for about 10 seconds, and a detailed adjustment for the focus is automat\
ically performed.
IMPORTANT:
	 •	 Do	not	move	the	focus	ring	by	hand.
	 •	 Defocus	 may	 be	 caused	 by	 the	 reinstalled	 dome	 cover.	 In	 this	 case,	 perform	 the	 auto	 focus	 function from the setup menu.
	 •	 Press	the	auto	focus	(AF)	button	twice	quickly	to	perform	basic	adjustments	in	a	short	time.	For	 more accurate adjustments use the detailed adjustments.
	 •	 After	performing	basic	adjustments,	make	sure	to	press	the	auto	focus	(AF)	button	once	to	per -
form detailed adjustments.

Note:
	 •	 If	 the	 zoom	 lock	 knob	 is	 fully	 turned	 in	 the	 "W"	 direction,	 the	 periphery	 may	 become	 dark.	 In	 such a case, turn the zoom lock knob in the "T" direction for readjustment.
	 •	 If	 the	 zoom	 lock	 knob	 is	 slightly	 tightened	 before	 the	 zoom	 is	 adjusted,	 the	 knob	 will	 become	 stable, making fine adjustments easier to perform.
	 •	 When	 shooting	 in	 the	 following	 place	 or	 the	 following	 subjects,	 focus	 may	 not	 be	 adjusted	 automatically. In this case, adjust the focus manually from the setup menu. Refer to the 
Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM) for how to perform the manual focus adjust-
ment from the setup menu.

	 •	 When	 images	 in	 the	 near-infrared	 light	 area	 change	 from	 color	 to	 black	 &	 white,	 out-of-focus	 may be occurred according to the nature of optical property. In this case, the focus can auto-
matically be corrected by selecting "Auto" or "Preset" for "Adjusting method" on the setup 
menu (The focus will not automatically be adjusted according to the illumination level change 
once the focus is corrected). Refer to the Operating Instructions (included in the CD-ROM) \
for 
how to set "Adjusting method" on the setup menu.
	 •	 It	 may	 be	 difficult	 to	 tighten	 the	 zoom	 lock	 knob	 depending	 on	 the	 position	 of	 the	 azimuth	 adjustment ring. In this case, adjust the azimuth adjustment ring after \
tightening the zoom lock 
knob.
