5.4.5.1 Calculating the Flange Back Distance
To correctly determine the flange back distance of a DCx camera, you need to consider the distance between the
lens flange and the active area of the sensor and, additionally, the type and thickness of any materials inserted into
the optical path.
The "distance in air" between the threaded flange and the active area is 17.526 mm with C-mount lenses and
12.526 mm with CS-mount lenses.
This "mechanical distance" can change due to the material-specific refractive index of the inserted materials. The
glass cover of the sensor and all filters inserted into the optical path (see Filter types table) must be taken into
account in the calculation.
