If you use the lens that is not mentioned above, set the
lens number as follows:
• When using a lens without an extender, set it to 1.
• When using a lens with an extender, set it to 2.
• When using a lens with a ratio converter, set it to 2.
You can also ask a Sony dealer more precise settings,
according to your lens. In this case, set it to 4.

Adjusting the Iris Sensitivity

When you use the VCL-716BX or VCL-719BX lens,
you usually need not adjust the iris sensitivity because
lenses are equipped with iris sensitivity adjustment
function.
In auto iris mode, if hunting or response delay
happens, adjust the iris sensitivity using the iris
sensitivity trimmer.

You can see the iris sensitivity trimmer when
removing the gum cap on the front of the lens driving
unit. Use a mini-screwdriver to turn the trimmer. If
you turn it clockwise, the sensitivity increases, and if
you turn it counterclockwise, the sensitivity decreases.
It is recommended that you confirm the iris sensitivity
after replacing the lens.
For more information, refer to the operating instructions for
the lens (or consult the lens maker).

Macrophotography

Use the macro function when the subject is less than
about 1.1 m (4 feet) (for the VCL-716BX) from the
front of the lens. It is possible to shoot close-ups down
to a range of 10 mm (wide angle, f = 7.5 mm).
