Caution

the camcorder, and cause fire.
Notes
• Attach/remove a lens while the camcorder is turned
off.
• A lens is a precision part. Do not place the lens directly
with the mount part down. Attach the cover supplied
with the lens.
• The lens interface of the camcorder is set to "Type C,"
to correspond with the lens that is supplied with the
PMW-F3K, SCL-P11X15, and lenses with a Cooke-
type connector. When using a lens with an ARRI-type
connector, set "Lens interface" (page 67) in the
Camera menu to "Type A." Set to "Off" for SCL-PK6,
SCL-PK3, or other lenses. If this setting is not correct,
an alert message appears when the camcorder is turned
on after attaching the lens.
