2-3 Attaching a Lens

Attach an appropriate optional lens that conforms to the PL lens mount.

Note

Always use a lens whose projection from the flange (A in the figure) is less than 30 mm. Use of any lens that protrudes more tha 30 mm will damage the internal filter.

For information on handling lenses, refer to the lens’ operation manual.

1 Rotate the lens fixing lever counterclockwise and remove the lens mount cap from the lens mount.

Selecting a lens file

With this camera, values, such as the compensation values, which are specific to the mounted lens can be registered in a lens file. You can perform necessary adjustments upon replacement of lenses by merely invoking the registered file.

Select the file using the subdisplay.

For lens file selection on the subdisplay, see “3-2-6 Selection of a Lens File” (page 34).

For details on the lens files, see “5-1 File Configuration” (page 87).

3 While supporting the lens, rotate the lens fixing lever clockwise to secure the lens.

20 Attaching a Lens

Adjusting the flange focal length

Adjustment of the flange focal length (distance between the lens mount attachment plane and the imaging plane) is necessary in the following situations:

•The first time a lens is attached

•When changing lenses

•If the focus is not sharp at both telephoto and wide angle when zooming

The flange focal length for this camera can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment screw on the front panel.

Use an Allen wrench (7/64” diagonal):
