Focus Assistant
Note
• The view in front of the camera should not be changed during focus adjustment (steps
5 and 6). If the camera is moved, or if a finger or other object is placed in front of the
lens, steps 3–7 will have to be repeated.
• If movements in front of the camera cannot be avoided, the Focus Assistant should not
be used.
• f the camera is mounted so that the function button cannot be accessed, you can still
use the Focus Assistant. Follow the instructions below but mount the camera after step
4, pressing the function button instead and skip step 7.
To focus your network camera using the Focus Assistant, follow steps 1–3 under Adjust Focus on
page 24 before you start with the steps below. See Hardware Overview on page 10.
