2-3 Attaching a Lens
Attach a lens that conforms to the PL lens mount.
Always use a lens whose projection from the flange (
A
in
the figure) is less than 31.5 mm (1
1
/
4
inch). Use of any lens
that protrudes more than 31.5 mm (1
1
/
4
inch) will damage
the internal filter.
For information on handling lenses, refer to the operation
manual for the lens.
1
Rotate the lens fixing lever counterclockwise and
remove the lens mount cap from the lens mount.
2
Align the lens’ alignment pin with the notch in the
upper part of the lens mount and insert the lens into the
mount.
3
While supporting the lens, rotate the lens fixing lever
clockwise to secure the lens.
Changing the position of the lens fixing lever
Remove the four screws from the face of the lens fixing
lever indicated in the figure. Change the position of the
fixing lever, reinsert the screws and securely tighten.
Adjusting the flange focal length
The optical section uses materials not susceptible to
thermal expansion, so flange back adjustment is generally
not required. However, if you want to make an adjustment,
remove the lens mount and replace the shim with one of the
appropriate thickness. At shipment, a 0.05 mm
(0.0020 inch) shim is installed. The following replacement
shims are available.
When using the camera in HFR mode, the lens distance
indicator may be slightly off, but this is not a malfunction.
For information about replacing shims, consult your local
Sony representative.
