✜ Natural-touch Lens Operation
Focus
The newly designed focus ring offers two types of manual focus,
plus an auto focus mode that can be easily switched by sliding
the focus ring forward or backward.
When the focus ring is in the front position, the lens works in the
same way as the HVR-Z1E, HVR-V1E and DSR-PD170P. In this
case, either manual or auto focus mode can be selected by
the assignable button on the lens. On the other hand, when
the focus ring is set to the rear position, the focus ring has a
physical stop at infinity and works in the same way as a
professional interchangeable lens, with fixed-focus-position and
distance indicators.
Zoom
Fast, intuitive manual-zoom response is provided by an internal
gearwheel mechanism that provides accurate zoom positioning.
A high-quality servo-motor provides the smooth zooming
performance that industry professionals have come to rely on.
Iris
The iris ring encircles the lens barrel.
Manual iris adjustment is possible with an ENG-type ring system
that allows fine exposure control for challenging lighting situations.
Interchangeable Lens System
Offers Unlimited Possibilities
✜ Carl Zeiss Lens for HD Video as Standard
A high-quality, multi-purpose Carl Zeiss lens for HD video comes as
standard with the HVR-S270E and HVR-Z7E. Stunning resolution and
contrast is achieved thanks to the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar™ T*
coating, which suppresses unwanted reflections. A specially
designed wide-angle lens is also available as an option
to suit a
diverse range of shooting requirements.
✜ Easy-to-use Interchangeable Lens for Fixed-lens
Camcorder Users
These lenses give Sony’s two new HDV camcorders the same
functionality as popular fixed-lens camcorders like the HVR-Z1E and
HVR-V1E, thanks to built-in features such as auto-focus, optical
stabili
ser, and automatic back-focus adjustment.
Current users of the above camcorders will easily become adept
at using the HVR-Z7E and HVR-S270E, even if they have never used
interchangeable lenses.
Various video lenses can be attached to the
HVR-S270E and HVR-Z7E which are both equipped
with a universal standard 1/3-inch bayonet mount
mechanism for quick changing of lenses.
