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.

the focusing plane from the furthest to the closest perspectives before attempting any
fine-tuning.

Adjusting the DC-Iris Settings
The DC-Iris settings must be adjusted to meet the requirements of the lens you intend to
use. You will need to modify the Exposure Control and other related settings for your
camera, from the Image-Advanced page.
Use the information presented in the following tables to choose the appropriate settings for
your lens type.
Caution!
Exposing your camera to bright sunlight may cause permanent damage to the CCD if you:
• install and use a non-DC Iris lens with the product, or
• select anything other than DC-Iris in the Exposure Control settings of the Image - Advanced page.
Axis consequently advises extreme caution when changing the lens and/or when using the Advanced
settings. Damage caused to the AXIS 2420 through overexposure to direct sunlight or halogen light is
not covered under the product warranty.
