* With LA-EA1, autofocus speed with an A-
mount lens attached will be slower compared to
an E-mount lens. (When an A-mount lens is
attached, the autofocus speed will be about 2
seconds to 7 seconds, when shooting under
Sony measurement condition. The speed may
vary depending on the subject, ambient light,
etc.)
Operations when using LA-EA2
• Aperture is set to F3.5 when you record
movies with autofocusing. When you are
using a lens with an F3.5 or smaller F-
stop, aperture is set to the maximum F-
stop of the lens. When you want to set
your own value for aperture, select
manual focusing. Adjusting the aperture
during recording may cause the noise or
turn the LCD screen brighter.
• The iris will not adjust automatically in
movie mode.
b Notes
• Some lenses may not be usable or may have
limited functionality. Check the dedicated
support web site or consult your local
authorized Sony service facility on compatible
lenses.
• The sound of the lens and the camcorder in
operation may be recorded during movie
recording. You can avoid this by recording
without the microphone, or by setting the CH1
(AUTO/MAN) switch or CH2 (AUTO/MAN)
switch to MAN and the AUDIO LEVEL dial to
0 (p. 51).
• It may take a long time or may be difficult for
the camcorder to focus, depending on the lens
used or the subject.
AF area display
When using an A-mount lens with a mount
adaptor, the camcorder displays in-focus
frames.
Autofocusing: The frame of the area that is
in focus turns green.
Manual focusing: The frame of the area that
is in focus turns green. This can assist
