Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What makes a 1/1.7″ image format beneficial for a 12MP lens?
- A: High resolution requires a larger sensor surface area to prevent individual pixels from getting too small and noisy. A 1/1.7″ sensor format provides an optimal layout that ensures high light-gathering efficiency, lower noise, and a much wider dynamic range for M12 lenses.
- Q: How does the -43% distortion control compare to normal wide-angle lenses?
- A: Most ultra-wide optics exhibit heavy distortion (often worse than -60% to -80%). Keeping the distortion profile at -43% for a 5mm lens means it strikes a fantastic balance—capturing a wide 114.4° diagonal view while allowing automated software or vehicle ADAS systems to de-warp the edges seamlessly.
- Q: What is the main advantage of an IR corrected lens in 24/7 operations?
- A: Visible light and Infrared light focus at different optical points due to different wavelengths. Standard optics go blurry when night-vision IR lamps turn on. This IR corrected lens targets both wavelengths onto the exact same focal plane, keeping daytime color footage and nighttime infrared footage equally crisp.
- Q: Can this lens mount directly to a standard CS-mount industrial camera?
- A: This lens features a native M12 board thread, which is smaller than a CS mount. To lock it onto a standard CS-mount box camera frame, you will simply need a standard M12-to-CS thread adapter ring.
- Q: How do I adjust the focus on this model during installation?
- A: As a fixed focal lens, the focal length is locked at 5mm. You focus the camera during system calibration by manually threading the lens body into the M12 mount holder until your monitor display is perfectly sharp, then securing it with an M12 locking ring.
- Q: Is the iris adjustable on this 12 Megapixel model?
- A: No, it features a fixed iris with a bright aperture of F2.0. A fixed iris is highly preferred for automated industrial lenses and drone gimbals because it removes moving parts, ensuring maximum mechanical durability under high vibrations while your camera shutter dynamically manages exposure parameters.
