4.3.2 Focus Value
The Focus value on the Focus tab is a number between 1 and 255.
To focus the lens, place the target object so that the area to be focused
appears on the center of the displayed image. You can use the image
on the PC to determine when the image is sharp enough, or you can use
this Focus value as a guide. Turn the focus ring on the lens until the
Focus value is at the highest possible number between 1 and 255. Note
there is no optimal value for this number, but it can be used as a guide
if setting up more than one camera focused on the same target.
