Connecting the lens cable to the LENS connector
when the camcorder is powered may cause a
malfunction of the camcorder or the lens. Before
connecting the lens cable, be sure to check that the
camcorder is powered off.

Secure the lens cable with the cable clamps.

Adjusting the Flange Focal Length

If the focus is not precisely correct at the telephoto and
wide-angle ends of zoom operations, adjust the flange
focal length (the distance from the lens mounting flange
plane to the focusing plane).
Once adjusted, no further adjustment is required unless the
lens is changed.
When carrying out the adjustment, use the supplied flange
focal length adjustment chart as the subject.
Note
If you use a subject with insufficient contrast, or move the
camera or subject during adjustment, this will cause an
adjustment error.
Carrying out the adjustment
When using the VCL-719BXS Auto Focus Lens
With the VCL-719BXS lens supplied with the PDW-
F335K, zoom and focus operations automatically adjust
the flange focal length.
