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, the image azimuth can 
be modified when the panning table is rotated 
to the direction of clockwise panning (180 °). 

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 two ways: rotating the panning table 180° 
clockwise, 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).

* Do not move the focus ring. Auto focus (AF) button
 q  Loosen the zoom lock knob and move the knob between TELE and WIDE to obtain the appro-
priate angle of view.
 w  Press the auto focus (AF) button twice quickly to perform basic adjustments. The lamp blinks 
during auto focus (AF) adjusting. When the adjustment is completed, adjust 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 Extra 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 automatically 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. (When basic adjustments are performed precise adjustments are 
not made and the focus may change in situations such as when the power is turned off then 
on again.)

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.
  •  Subj. moving frequently
  •  Subj. with large illuminance change
  •  Subj. with low illuminance
  •  Subj. with reflection or extra brightness
  •  Subj. through a window
  •  Place where the dome cover easily becomes dirty
  •  Subj. with less contrast such as white wall
  •  Subj. with heavy flicker
  •  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.
