Focus on 2 Domes just won't work.

[badgerator 0]

Hi Folks,

 

Ok so today I was out at a shooting range installing dome type security cameras, everything went fine until the last camera. I mounted it on a wall, adjusted zoom to mid point ish, and the tried to focus, the focus moved slightly then nothing, I opened the camera to see if the adjuster-screw-toothed-pillar had come away from the semi-circle adjuster ring, and nope it was still attached, I can move said focus ring manually and STILL no movement on focus. Not so strange maybe for one to have a fault, so I got out the spare cam I had with me, white dome, same type, same procedure and EXACTLY the same thing happened.

 

If I wasn't bald already, I would be by now, no idea why this happened on 2 separate cams, or what the causes could be.

 

So I guess I am wondering if anyone's had similar problems?

I hope this helps you answer a question that's got very little to do with what they look like.

any photo showing? Try to turn your camera target to another place where around 10 meters far, checking if it is able focus correctly.

I know the camera style. I'd need to see a picture of the inside of yours though.

This isn't rare to me. I have had that happen numerous times with many different camera's. Appears that the lens isn't properly matched to the sensor. Only appeared to work properly with a certain distance from the subject. This is more common to me than the it should be.

Why in the world would you resurrect a two year old thread?
