8-4 Adjusting the Flange Focal Length / 8-5 Audio Input System

If the lens does not stay in focus properly as you zoom 
from telephoto to wide angle, adjust the flange focal length 
(the distance from the plane of the lens mounting flange to 
the imaging plane).  Make this adjustment after mounting 
or changing the lens.

Adjusting the flange focal length
The position of the controls for adjusting the flange focal 
length vary somewhat from lens to lens.  Check the 
identification of the various controls in the lens manual.

Adjusting the flange focal length

Set the iris to manual.

Open the iris.  Place the flange focal length adjustment 
chart about 3 m (10 ft) away from the camera, lit well 
enough to provide a satisfactory video output level.

Loosen the fixing screws on the F.f or F.B ring (flange 
focal length adjustment ring).

Use manual or power zoom to set the lens to telephoto.

Point the camera at the chart by turning the focus ring 
and focus on it.

Set the zoom ring to wide angle.

Turn the F.f or F.B ring until the chart is in focus, 
being careful not to disturb the focus ring.

Repeat steps 4 to 7 until the chart stays in focus all the 
way from wide angle to telephoto.

Tighten the F.f or F.B ring fixing screws.

You can use the supplied microphone either detached from 
or attached to the camcorder.

Using the microphone detached from the camcorder

When using the supplied microphone with an extension 
cable, always use an external power supply type cable.

Loosen the screw and open the microphone holder 
clamp.

About 3 m (10 ft)

Connect to the MIC IN connector.

Set the AUDIO IN switch for the desired 
audio recording channel to FRONT.
