Designating the lens

You have to designate the lens number according to the types of your lens.

If the number is not designated properly, strange color may appear on the upper and lower of the screen when shooting a white subject.

Set the number in advanced menu page 4 (page 89)

Set up the data with Sony dealer.

 

 

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

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

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

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

You can also set it more precisely at Sony dealer, 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 short from the front of the lens.
