Wide Range of Lenses
The flexible bayonet lens attachment system allows you
to use a wide range of lenses.
Standard 1/3-inch HD video lenses, from manufacturers
such as Fujinon and Canon,can be attached directly to
the HVR-Z7U and HVR-S270U.
If you’d like to attach a 2/3-inch or 1/2-inch HD video lens
on the HVR-Z7U or HVR-S270U,it is possible to do so by
adding a standard lens adaptor from the lens
manufacturer.
The HVR-S270U and HVR-Z7U camcorders have 12-pin lens
connectors allowing compatibility with professional ENG
lenses.
This feature is very useful not only for those who already
have these professional HD video lenses, but also for
those who prefer to use HD digital cinema lenses for their
unique contrast,color,and atmosphere.
Lens Compatibility
With a special adaptor from Sony, it is also possible to use
the ™ lens series designed for Sony Digital SLR still
cameras.
By using lenses in various configurations, creative
effects can be achieved.
This approach is ideal for filmmakers on a budget or those
who already own lenses.
Note:
The focal length is doubled with a 2/3-inch lens adaptor
The focal length is increased 1.3 times with a 1/2-inch lens adaptor
The focal length is increased 7 times with an lens adaptor
Some lenses may not be compatible and not all lens functions may be
available
