Hi everyone.

Maybe some of you GRS teachers can help me.
I´m having problems with a tv-camera, similar to the ones you use in the grs classes. I can´t seem to get the focus right. I think it must be the lens that is bugging me. The only things I can change on the lens is the brightness and the zoom. It must be something simple. (I´m not very bright)

Thanks
Eddi

There are three adjustments on the lens: focus, aperture, and zoom. To focus you turn the part of the lens barrel that's closes to the end. Aperture is the part of the barrel that's closest to the camera. You also have to be sure that the camera has the the little black C-mount aluminum adapter ring that's about 3/16" thick. If you don't have that, it's probably not going to work.

All of this is assuming you have the same kind of lens and camera we use in the classrooms. If not, then I'm not sure what to advise.
