The purpose of backfocusing is to make the adjustments necessary for the picture to remain in focus throughout the camera‘s zoom
range, which is the case, for instance, in motorized zoom, auto iris configurations. Manual iris lens/camera combinations also need to
be back focused. Follow the general instructions listed below to adjust back focus appropriate to your camera/lens combination.

Make sure the Auto Iris Video/
DC switch is in the DC posi-
tion. Use a neutral density
filter or some other physical
means to decrease the
amount of light entering the
camera lens so that the auto-
iris response is to open the
iris up as wide as possible.
