Note:
	 •	 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.

If the 2x extra optical zoom is applied when "1280x960", "1280x720" is s\
elected for the image capture 
size, the image quality will be deteriorated because the effect of Extra Optical Zoom is not provided. 
	 •	 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.

q  Loosen the zoom lock knob and the focus lock knob, then move them to adj\
ust for the appro-
priate viewing angle of the target.
Note:
	 •	
The focus may not be adjusted appropriately when the zoom ring is positioned at the "W"   
(or "T") end. In this case, adjust the focus again by slightly moving \
the zoom ring to the direction of "T" (or "W"). 
						

							32
 w  To adjust the angular field of view with a higher zooming effect even after adjusting the angular 
field of view almost fully in the "T" direction, hold down the focus assist button (F.A.)/extra opti-
cal zoom button for 5 seconds or more. 2x extra optical zoom will be applied. When the image 
capture size under "VGA" is applied, the zoom factor can be adjusted up to 2x \
without deterio-
ration of image quality. When holding down the focus assist button (F.A.)/extra optical zoom 
button again for 5 seconds or more, 1x extra optical zoom will be applied.
 e Tighten the zoom lock knob.
 r Press the focus assist (F.A.) button.
  
→	 "FOCUS ADJUSTMENT" menu will be displayed.
     The focus assist function will be activated to perform the optimum adjus\
tment.
 t When the focus lock knob is positioned near the best focus position, the\
 position will automati- cally be memorized as the "PEAK HOLD" position. (The closer the focus r\
ing is positioned to 
the best focus position, the greater the "PEAK HOLD" value becomes.)
 y When the focus lock knob is moved, the current focus position will be indicated on  "INDICATOR". Adjust the focus position so that the indicator value goes close t\
o the "PEAK 
HOLD" position.
 u When the indicator value goes to the best focus position, "BEST FOCUS" w\
ill be displayed in  reverse at the lower right corner of the screen.
 i Tighten the focus lock knob so as to fix the best focus position.
 o Press the focus assist (F.A.) button again to close the "FOCUS ADJUSTMENT" menu.   (No operation for 3 minutes also closes the menu.)
IMPORTANT:
	 •	
When using a model equipped with the focus assist (F. A.) function, defocus may be caused by the 
dome cover attached. 
In this case, the focus adjustment will be easier by detaching the dome \
cover and moving the 
focus ring to the "N" direction.
	 •	 Before	attaching	the	dome	cover,	make	sure	that	the	subject	is	present.
Note:
	 •	 	If	 the	 zoom	 lock	 knob	 is	 fully	 rotated	 in	 the	 "W"	 direction,	 the	 periphery	 may	 become	 dark.	 In	 such a case, rotate the zoom lock knob in the "T" direction for readjustment.
	 •	 	When	 shooting	 the	 following	 subjects,	 close	 the	 "FOCUS	 ADJUSTMENT"	 menu	 by	 pressing	 the focus assist (F.A.) button again, or adjust the focus to obtain the best focus positio\
n while 
monitoring images from the camera.

	 •	 	If	 the	 zoom	 lock	 knob	 is	 slightly	 tightened	 before	 the	 zoom	 is	 adjusted,	 the	 ring	 will	 become	 stable, making fine adjustments easier to perform.
	 •	 	If	 the	 focus	 lock	 knob	 is	 slightly	 tightened	 before	 the	 focus	 is	 adjusted,	 the	 ring	 will	 become	 stable, making fine adjustments easier to perform.
	 •	 	In	 case	 the	 angular	 field	 of	 view	 has	 changed	 during	 adjustment,	 close	 the	 "FOCUS	 ADJUSTMENT" menu once by pressing the focus assist (F.A.) button. (When the angular field 
of view changes, the indicator values of "PEAK HOLD" and "INDICATOR" also change.) After 
fixing the angular field of view, retry Step 3.
