3. Enable the Focus Assistant: Using a suitably

pointed object, press and continue to hold

the Control Button - until the Status

Indicator flashes Yellow.

The Focus Assistant is now enabled with the

Status Indicator set to Focus Mode; the

AXIS 2120 now initiates a focusing

algorithm to regularly calculate the quality

of focus.

4. In order for the Focus Assistant to access the

full focusing range for your application

environment, now turn the lens to its

extreme Near-focus (N) position.

5. Finally, turn the lens slowly towards the

Far-focus (F,

∞) position - until the Status

Indicator displays Green; that is, until a

Good level of focus is achieved.

Notes: •A Good level of focus is normally achievable throughout several planes within the focusing

range of the camera.

•The Status Indicator displays Green to indicate a Good level of focus at 80% of optimum focus.

•Since optimum focusing is dependent upon the camera’s field of view, it is important to scan

the focusing plane from the closest to the furthest perspectives before attempting any

fine-tuning.

6. Return to your browser and review the picture quality. If you consider the focal

distance too distant - repeat steps 4 & 5 until you are satisfied with both the focal

distance and quality.

7. To exit the Focus Assistant: press and hold the Control button - until the Status

Indicator flashes Yellow. The Status Indicator displays Green when the Focus

Assistant is closed.
