If you use the lens that is not mentioned above, set the lens number as follows:

•When using a lens without an extender, set it to 1.

•When using a lens with an extender, set it to 2.

•When using a lens with a ratio converter, set it to 2.

You can also ask a Sony dealer more precise settings according to your lens. In this case, set it to 4.

Adjusting the Iris Sensitivity

You usually need not adjust the iris sensitivity because lenses are equipped with iris sensitivity adjustment function.

In auto iris mode, if hunting or response delay happens, adjust the iris sensitivity using the iris sensitivity trimmer.

Iris sensitivity trimmer (S or IRIS GAIN is indicated.)

IRIS

GAIN

You can see the iris sensitivity trimmer when removing the gum cap on the front of the lens driving unit. Use a mini-screwdriver to turn the trimmer. If you turn it clockwise, the sensitivity increases, and if you turn it counterclockwise, the sensitivity decreases. It is recommended that you confirm the iris sensitivity after replacing the lens.

For more information, refer to the operating instructions for the lens (or consult the lens maker).

Macrophotography

Use the macro function when the subject is less than about 90 cm (3 feet) (for the VCL-918BY) from the front of the lens. It is possible to shoot close-ups down to a range of 10 mm (wide angle, f = 9 mm).
