Close-up of a camera lens with aperture (f-stop values like 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 18) and focus (distance in meters and feet) controls labeled. Arrows point to 'Aperture' and 'Focus' adjustments.

Examples of marker images: 'Aperture too open' shows large, washed-out markers. 'Aperture too closed' shows small, dim markers. 'Image out-of-focus' shows blurred markers.

'Correct marker image' examples showing clear, well-defined markers at 'Markers touching' and '10 cm separation'. The markers are not too small, with centers just off-white (not fully saturated) when viewed from the middle of the volume.

Warning: Under normal operation in elevated ambient conditions, the camera's heat sink temperature can exceed 56°C. During and after camera operation, do not touch the heat sink for longer than 1 second.

Important: Before you begin system calibration, select all cameras and change Grayscale Mode back to Auto. For more about calibration, see your Vicon software documentation.

Note: About your Vicon camera packaging. The box in which your new Vero camera arrived has a foam insert that holds the camera. This insert prevents most damage that could be caused during shipping. We recommend that you retain this box as it provides the most convenient and safe way to ship your camera in future.
