6. Instructions for housed Alvium cameras – RCG
At delivery, sensors of RCG cameras are protected by the circular protection foil placed on the lens mount.
This section instructs on removing the circular protection foil and mounting the lens.
1. With your finger tips, starting from the edge, slowly pull the circular protection foil from the lens mount
until removed completely.
2. Mount your optics according to the manual of the lens manufacturer and the Alvium user guide.
Without compensation, cameras could be focused to infinity after the sensor cover glass has been
removed. Therefore, Alvium RCG cameras are calibrated for proper focus before shipping.
