Using a mount adapter (sold separately),
you can attach an A-mount lens (sold
separately) to your camcorder. For details,
refer to the operating instructions supplied
with the mount adapter.
The available functions differ depending on
the mount adapter type.
LA-EA1/LA-EA3
• The autofocus function is not supported.
• The iris can be adjusted using the
ND/IRIS dial of the camcorder.
LA-EA2/LA-EA4
Operations when using LA-EA2/
LA-EA4
• Aperture is set to F3.5 when you record
movies with autofocusing. When you are
using a lens with an F3.5 or smaller F-
stop, aperture is set to the maximum F-
stop of the lens. When you want to set
your own value for aperture, select
manual focusing. Adjusting the aperture
during recording may cause noise or turn
the LCD screen brighter.
• The iris will not adjust automatically in
movie mode.

Notes
• Some lenses may not be usable or may have
limited functionality. Check the dedicated
support web site or consult your local
authorized Sony service facility on compatible
lenses.
• The sound of the lens and the camcorder in
operation may be recorded during movie
recording. You can avoid this by recording
without the microphone, or by setting the
AUTO/MAN (CH-1) switch or AUTO/MAN
(CH-2) switch to “MAN” and the AUDIO
LEVEL (CH-1, CH-2) dial to 0 (p. 82).
• It may take a long time or may be difficult for
the camcorder to focus, depending on the lens
used or the subject.
