Fitting the Camera Lens  

 
C or CS Mount Lenses 

Most lenses available now are CS mount lenses. CS mount lenses are shorter and more compact 
than the older C mount lenses. Whether you are using CS mount or C mount lenses, either will work 
with these cameras without the need for a spacer ring.  
Just screw the lens into the camera and just fit it finger tight.  
On the camera body you have a back focus adjuster and sliding  
this moves the C

M

OS sensor closer or further away from the lens. 

CS lenses are fitted closer to the sensor so set adjustment 
so that the sensor is at its highest position. 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

Once you have fitted the lens and plugged in the 4 pin connector to the camera body you can switch 
on power to the camera. If you have a picture on the monitor, then adjust the zoom control first to 
display the view required albeit out of focus, then adjust the focus control. If you are unable to fine 
focus the camera you may need to alter the back focus adjuster which is described previously.

 

 
 
 

Setting Up an Auto Iris Direct Drive Lens for different Light Levels 

The  brightness  setting  in  the  menu  determines  when  the  IRIS  of  the  lens  opens  and  closes.  It  is 
important  to  set  this  correctly  as  if  the  brightness  level  is  set  too  low,  you  may  get  satisfactory 
pictures  during  the  day  but  at  night  not  enough  light  can  enter  the  camera  giving  poor  quality 
pictures.  The  trick  to  setting  up  the  brightness  level  is  to  set  it  up  in  the  brightest  possible 
conditions,  i.e.  midday  on  a  sunlight  day  and  keep  the  IRIS  open  to  its  maximum  without  a  too 
bright picture. This means at night in low light, the IRIS will be open as much as possible and give 
the  best  results.  Generally  brightness  levels  are  set  at  50%  by  default  in  the  Exposure  menu,  but 
from experience it is recommended to try this setting at 75% first. 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Auto-Iris Direct Drive Connections 

Auto Iris type lenses require the 4-pin connector to be 
attached to the camera.  It is important that this connector is 
wired correctly. If the lens is a direct drive lens, this will 
normally be pre-wired and you can simply plug the lens into 
the camera. Note that the 4 pin connector on the lens will only 
fit one way using the guide channel on the camera body.
