It is necessary to adjust the flange focal length
(the distance from the lens flange to the plane of
the image along the optical axis) if the focus does
not match properly from telephoto to wide angle
during zoom operations.
Repeated adjustment is not necessary as long as
the same lens is used.

With the supplied or optional exclusive 1/2-inch
EX Mount lens, the flange focal length can be
adjusted automatically by the menu operation.
Notes
• If a subject of insufficient contrast is used, or if
the camcorder or subject moves during the
adjustment, adjustment cannot be made
properly. Once the adjustment begins, do not
touch the camcorder body or lens until it ends.
• When the Shutter is in SLS mode, be sure to set
the SLS setting to OFF before starting the
adjustment.
• Be careful that no light source, such as a lamp,
the sun, or a bright window, is in field of view
during flange focal length adjustment.
