Notes

All camera settings are actually up to the user or owner of the camera. We are evaluating the Pre-Set values of your camera to see where they are set, and if they meet 3200 degree standards. We are also checking your encoder to verify that it works correctly. If we find a problem, we will note it above and in the Additional Comments section of this evaluation form.

Please feel free to view the Camera Question & Answer page for information on how to select a qualified technician for the alignment and servicing of your camera.
