Appendix E: C- and F-Mount Information
This appendix provides information necessary in order to use C- and F-mount lenses with a
PI-MAX4 camera. Both types of lenses typically have provisions for focusing and aperture
adjustment, with the details varying according the make and model of the lens being used.
WARNING!
Before installing a lens, always begin with the lens stopped all the
way down (i.e., the largest f/ stop number,) in order to minimize the
risk of overloading the intensifier.
E.1 C-Mount Lens Information
This section provides information about mounting and removing a C-mount lens.
E.1.1 Installation
C-mount lenses simply screw clockwise into the threaded lens mount at the front of the
camera.
CAUTION!
!
When mounting a C-mount lens, be sure to tighten it securely
by hand - never use any tools.
E.1.2 Removal
When removing a C-mount lens, rotate the lens counterclockwise until it is free of the
mount.
