Focus
You can focus the Axis product under Video & Audio > Focus. For most app lications, the adjustments on the Basic tab are suffi cient.
If required, additional adjustments can be made on the Advanced tab. Before focusing, always click Open iris to open the iris to its
maximum. This gives the smallest depth of field and thus best conditions for c orrect focusing. Click Enable iris when finished focusing.

Follow the on-screen instructions on the Basic tab to adjust zoom and focus. The pixel counter is used to determine the number of
pixels in an area of the image, for example to ensure that the image size fulfills specific requirements. To position the pixel counter,
click o n the text and drag the window to the de sired position.
