Adjusting the Lens
The supplied VCL-614B2X and the optional
XS8X4AS-XB8 (see page 34) specially designed
for the PMW-EX3 are called "exclusive lenses"
in this manual.
Caution
Do not leave the camcorder with the lens facing
the sun. Direct sunlight can enter through the lens,
be focused in the camcorder, and cause fire.
Adjusting the Flange Focal Length
It is necessary to adjust the flange focal length
(the distance from the lens flange to the plane of
the image along the optical axis) if the focus does
not match properly from telephoto to wide angle
during zoom operations.
Repeated adjustment is not necessary as long as
the same lens is used.

the SLS setting to OFF before starting the
