Fitting the Lens

If using a 1/2” lens other than the VCL-716BX/ 719BX on DSR-370/370P

If the connector on the lens attachment section is a 14- pin connector (VCL-714BXA and other lenses), then the lens may be operated in the same way as the VCL- 716BX/719BX.

If the lens has a 7-pin connector, then the following limitations apply.

•The lens iris f. value is not displayed in the viewfinder.

•Iris operation may be slow in auto iris mode, and hunting may occur. If this happens, you should adjust the iris sensitivity (see page 135).

If using a lens with a 6-pin connector

This camcorder head has a 12-pin LENS connector. If the lens cable has a 6-pin connector, fit an adaptor cable: LO-612 (manufactured by Canon) or ECF-124 (manufactured by Fujinon) or equivalent.

When using a lens with a 6-pin connector, the following limitations apply.

•The lens iris f. value is not displayed in the viewfinder.

•Iris operation may be slow in auto iris mode, and hunting may occur. If this happens, you should adjust the iris sensitivity (see page 135).

If using a 2/3” lens (for only DSR-370/370P)

Fit the lens using the optional LO-32BMT 2/3” lens adaptor.
