Handling the camera13
Note
• Do not touch the lens surface when you adjust the infrared camera focus manually. If
this happens, clean the lens according to the instructions in 31.2 Infrared lens, page
200.
• The focus ring can be rotated infinitely, but only a certain amount of rotation is needed
when focusing.
• The response of the focus mechanism is progressive, meaning that a faster rotation
of the focus ring gives a disproportional higher speed of focus change. This allows for
both fine adjustment with a relatively large (but slow) rotation and rapid change with a
smaller (but faster) rotation. Furthermore, for a very slow rotation, the lens moves in
very small, discrete steps (which you can hear), allowing for a controlled fine adjust-
ment of the focus.
