Adjusting the Flange Focal Length
Adjustment of the flange focal length (the distance between
the lens mount attachment plane and the imaging plane) is
necessary in the following situations:
• The first time a lens is attached
• When changing lenses
• If the focus is not sharp at both telephoto and wide angle
when zooming
The flange focal length can be more precisely adjusted by
using the focus assist indicators.
See “Displaying the focus assist indicators” (page 20) for the
focus assist indicators.
The various parts of the lens used in adjusting the flange focal
length are in different positions on different lenses. Refer to the
operation manual for the lens.

Set the iris control to manual and open the iris fully.
2
Place a flange focal length adjustment chart
approximately 3 meters from the camera and adjust
the lighting to get an appropriate video output level.

Loosen the Ff (flange focal length) ring lock screw.

With either manual or power zoom, set the zoom ring
