• If the lens is not properly locked, it may come
off when in use, which may cause a serious
problem. Make sure that the lens is securely
locked. Sony recommends that you set the lens
securing tab B as illustrated.
• Press the REC START/STOP button on the
handle or the START/STOP button on the
Remote Commander to record when using a
lens that does not have a lens cable.
z Tips
• When you attach a non-Carl Zeiss lens, Sony
recommends that you adjust the black balance
with the iris closed before recording. (p. 35)
You need to adjust the flange focal length
(the distance from the lens flange to the
plane of the image along the optical axis)
when you have changed lenses.
z Tips
• Your camcorder can store flange focal length
data for ten different Carl Zeiss lenses (VCL-
412BWH/VCL-308BWH). If you remount the
lens after you have mounted ten different lenses
and adjusted their flange focal length, you need
to adjust the flange focal length for the lens even
for the Carl Zeiss lens whose flange focal length
has been adjusted.
