Notes
• Turn off the camcorder before attaching/
removing the lens.
• The lens is a precision component. Do not place
it with the mount side down directly touching a
surface. Be sure to attach the supplied cap.
• The camera interface of the camcorder is set to
"Type C" for the lenses supplied with the
PMW-F3K and those having a Cooke
connector. When attaching a lens with an ARRI
connector (usable in the future), set the interface
to "Type A" with "Lens IF" (page 114) of the
CAMERA SET menu. Or set it to "Off" for
other lenses.
If the interface setting is not correct, a warning
message will be displayed when you turn on the
camcorder.
