Installation

Caution

To prevent the camera from falling, make sure to attach the supplied wire rope.

Suitable lens 

The lens must be a CS-mount type and the protrusion behind the mounting surface must be 5.5 mm (/ inch) or less.

Caution

When you install it into a wall or a ceiling, check that the wall or the ceiling ˎ is strong enough to hold the weight of the camera including the mounting bracket, and install it without fail. If not, the camera falls down and causes a serious injury. Also, check if the mounting is not loosened at least once a year. Make the checking interval short according to use condition. Performance will depend on the installation environment and the lens ˎ itself. For details, contact your authorized Sony dealer.

Attaching the wire rope 

When you install the camera on a ceiling or a high position, be sure to attach the supplied wire rope to prevent the camera from falling. Attach the wire rope to the screw hole on the rear of the camera, as in the illustration.

Note

Take care not to short-circuit the power terminal or the cable with the wire rope when you attach it.

1 Secure the wire rope to the junction box on the ceiling.

Use a screw to match the screw hole of your junction box (not supplied).

2 Secure the wire rope to the wire rope mounting screw hole on the rear of

the camera using the supplied screw.

Caution

Use the supplied screws for installation. If not, the wire rope may not function properly.

Adjusting the Camera Coverage and Focus 

Loosen the zoom ring locking screw to adjust the camera shooting

coverage.

2 Tighten the locking screw to fix the zoom. 3 Loosen the focus ring locking screw to adjust the focus. 4 Tighten the locking screw to fix the focus. 5 Press the Easy Focus button on the rear to automatically adjust the

focus.

Note

You may not achieve satisfactory focus with the Easy Focus button due to the shooting environment. In this condition, press and hold Easy Focus button for more than 4 seconds to return to the default flange back position. Then, adjust the focus following step 3 and 4.
