Automatic Adjustment Of Flange Focal Length (Pmw-200 Only); Picture Profiles - Sony PMW-100 Operating Instructions Manual

Automatic adjustment of flange
focal length (PMW-200 only)
When automatic adjustment of flange focal
length is activated, focusing is performed both at
the wide-angle and telephoto ends of the zoom for
flange focal length adjustment and the result is
stored so that the in-focus condition is maintained
even if you change the zoom position after
focusing.
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 "Setting" of the "EX Slow Shutter" of the
CAMERA SET menu is "On," be sure to set it to "Off"
before starting the adjustment.
• Be careful that no light source, such as a lamp, the sun,
or a bright window, is in field of view during flange
focal length adjustment.
• Contact your dealer if a flange focal length adjustment
chart is required.
