Color Zoom Camera

A zoom camera provides operators with the ability to inspect up close areas that can not be closely reached by the LBV.

The Sony module replaces the primary camera still leaving the low light black and white camera. As with other accessories the zoom camera is controlled from the control console. Controls include zoom (up to 10x optical), auto focus and manual focus. Simply pressing the focus buttons allows the user to manually focus the camera. Using the Accessory keys + and - allows the user to zoom in and out.

In addition to the camera module the view port is upgraded to a custom machined optical corrected view port. This correction allows the auto focus and zoom to work correctly without the distortion of a traditional view port cylinder.

Due to the auto focus it is preferable to use the zoom camera in clear water conditions. What happens is the auto focus will hunt as it tries to focus on the particles in the water if turbid.

With the higher Lux level requirement it is recommended that additional external lighting be added to the LBV. You can never have enough light.

NOTE: the zoom camera is not compatible with the Laser Scaling system.
