Preparations VIDEO S MONOITUOTR IN DC Adjusting the Lens The supplied VCL-614B2X and the optional XS8X4AS-XB8 (see page 34) specially designed for the PMW-EX3 are called "exclusive lenses" in this manual. Caution Do not leave the camcorder with the lens facing the sun. Direct sunlight can enter through the lens, be focused in the camcorder, and cause fire. Adjusting the Flange Focal Length 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. 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. 1 Start the camcorder in Camera mode by setting the power switch to CAMERA. 2 Set the IRIS switch to AUTO. 3 Place a high-contrast subject, such as a flange focal length adjustment chart, about 3 m (10 ft.) away from the camcorder, and light it well enough to provide a sufficient video output level.

Preparations
The supplied VCL-614B2X and the optional
XS8X4AS-XB8
(see page 34)
specially designed
for the PMW-EX3 are called “exclusive lenses”
in this manual.
Do not leave the camcorder with the lens facing
the sun. Direct sunlight can enter through the lens,
be focused in the camcorder, and cause fire.
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.
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.
1
Start the camcorder in Camera mode
by setting the power switch to
CAMERA.
2
Set the IRIS switch to AUTO.
3
Place a high-contrast subject, such as a
flange focal length adjustment chart,
about 3 m (10 ft.) away from the
camcorder, and light it well enough to
provide a sufficient video output level.
4
Set the ZOOM switch to SERVO
(Power Zoom mode).
5
Press the MENU button to set the
