Adjusting the flange focal length
The optical section uses materials not susceptible to
thermal expansion, so flange back adjustment is generally
not required. However, if you want to make an adjustment,
remove the lens mount and replace the shim with one of the
appropriate thickness. At shipment, a 0.05 mm
(0.0020 inch) shim is installed. The following replacement
shims are available.
Note
When using the camera in HFR mode, the lens distance
indicator may be slightly off, but this is not a malfunction.
For information about replacing shims, consult your local
Sony representative.
