the camcorder or subject moves during the

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.

When a lens other than the exclusive lenses is

In addition to the supplied VCL-614B2X/1
standard zoom lens, a wide zoom lens exclusively
for the PMW-300 is available as an option. (You
can also use the VCL-614B2X.)
Using an optional lens adaptor, a Sony Bayonet
Mount lens can be mounted.
Note, however, that available functions, menu
settings and performance may be restricted with
non-exclusive lens.
For non-exclusive but usable lenses, consult your
Sony service representative.
