Adjusting the Flange Focal Length

Adjustment of the flange focal length (the distance between
the lens mount attachment plane and the imaging plane) is
necessary in the following situations:
• The first time a lens is attached
• When changing lenses
• If the focus is not sharp at both telephoto and wide angle
when zooming
The flange focal length can be more precisely adjusted by
using the focus assist indicators.
See "Displaying the focus assist indicators" (page 15) for the
focus assist indicators.
Note
The various parts of the lens used in adjusting the flange focal
length are in different positions on different lenses. Refer to the
operation manual for the lens.

Setting the Focus Assist Function

Using the OPERATION menu, the assist functions for easier
focusing on the monitor screen can be activated.
Note
When using the focus assist functions, connect a monitor to
the SDI 2 connector and set camera output to HD-SDI.
For details on the adjustment, see "Setting the Camera
Outputs" (page 12).
Adding a VF detail signal
Adding a VF detail signal to sharp edges in the image on the
monitor screen makes it easier to check the focusing condition
by observing changes in the detail signal or in the color
converted from the detail signal (color detail).
The focus setting where the detail signal becomes strongest is
the best focus setting.
