Preparations
3 Slide the knob on the top to the opposite
side of the eyepiece.
4 Detach the eyepiece by horizontally
sliding it.
The supplied VCL-614B2X and the optional
XS8X4AS-XB8 (see page 36) specially designed
for the PMW-EX3 are called “exclusive lenses”
in this manual.
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.
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.
