By storing the characteristics (compensation
data) specific to lenses in the files in the built-in
memory, the optimum compensation can be
easily made merely by retrieving the appropriate
file upon lens replacement.
The optimum compensation data for the
exclusive lenses are stored in File 01 and File 02,
respectively, at the factory and are automatically
retrieved when the corresponding lenses are
mounted.
When using other lenses than the exclusive
lenses, you can store the compensation data in
Files U1 to U4 with the LENS menu.
Storing compensation data for a non-
exclusive lens
The same compensation data as those in the file
for the supplied standard lens (01: VCL-614B2X)
are stored in all the user-definable files U1 to U4.
To use a non-exclusive lens, store the
compensation data in a file by proceeding as
follows:
