Preparing The Audio Input - Sony HXC-FB80 Operating Instructions Manual

When attaching an aberration correction lens
The aberration correction function is activated automatically.
Starting the camera with an aberration correction lens may require
more time than normal because of data loading at start-up.
The lens supplied with the HXC-FB80K/HXC-FB80S is an
aberration correction lens. Contact your Sony dealer or a Sony
service representative for information about other aberration
correction lenses.
Adjusting the flange back (flange focal length)
If the lens does not stay in focus properly as you zoom from
telephoto to wide angle, adjust the flange focal length (the distance
from the plane of the lens mounting flange to the imaging plane).
This adjustment is required once only after attaching or changing the
lens.
When carrying out the adjustment, use the supplied flange focal
length adjustment chart as the subject.
Notes
• If you use a subject with insufficient contrast, or move the camera or
subject during adjustment, this will cause an adjustment error.
• Place the subject (the flange focal length adjustment chart) so that it
appears at the center of the screen at the telephoto end. Arrange so that no
nearby object (no object closer to the camera than the chart) enters the
screen at the wide-angle end.
1
Set the iris to manual, and open the iris.
2
Position the supplied flange focal length adjustment chart
approximately 3 m (10 ft) away from the camera, and
arrange the lighting to obtain a satisfactory video output.
