By storing the characteristics (compensation data) specific to lenses in the files in the built-in memory, the optimum compensation can be easily made merely by retrieving the appropriate file upon lens replacement.

The optimum compensation data for the exclusive lenses are stored in File 01 and File 02, respectively, at the factory and are automatically retrieved when the corresponding lenses are mounted.

When using other lenses than the exclusive lenses, you can store the compensation data in Files U1 to U4 with the LENS menu.

Storing compensation data for a non- exclusive lens

The same compensation data as those in the file for the supplied standard lens (01: VCL-614B2X) are stored in all the user-definable files U1 to U4.

Appendixes	To use a non-exclusive lens, store the
	compensation data in a file by proceeding as
	follows:
	1	Mount a lens for which you wish to store
		the compensation data in a file.
	2	Set the camcorder to Camera mode by
