5.2.8 Adjusting the C-mount (mvBlueFOX3-2xxx-2xxx)
The mvBlueFOX3-2xxx-2xxx cameras allow a precise adjustment of the back focus of the C-mount
by means of a back focus ring which is threaded into the C-mount and is secured by a lock nut ring
which itself is secured by two screws. The mechanical adjustment of the imaging device is important
in order to achieve a perfect alignment with the focal point of the lens. This adjustment is made
before leaving the factory to conform to the standard of 17.526 mm (in air) and should normally not
require adjustment in the field. However, if the back focal plane of your lens does not conform to the
C-mount back focus specification or if you have e.g. removed the IR-CUT filter, renewed adjustment
may be required.
