Lens adjustments and checks
The flange back (distance from the lens mounting surface to the
image formation surface) is adjusted when a subject cannot be
brought into focus precisely using either the telephoto or the wide
angle positions when performing zoom operations.
Once the flange back has been adjusted, it need not be re-adjusted
unless the lens is replaced. For details on the adjustment method
and lens positions, refer to the operating instructions of the lens
concerned.
Flange back adjustment
<Note>
Coloring may occur in the vertical direction near the open setting of
the lens iris even when the white shading has been adjusted. This
phenomenon is a characteristic inherent to lenses and optical
systems, and it is not indicative of a failure.
White shading adjustment
This unit enables the fixed data supporting three types of lens and
the data supporting any desired adjustments to be used for white
shading compensation. This data can be selected using LENS
SHADING on the sub-menu (see page 35).
First, check that the type of lens used and the settings match. The
fixed data settings are as follows:
Type A: Data for S18 k 6.7BERM4 (etc.) lenses.
Type B: Data for YH18 k 6.7KRS (etc.) lenses.
Type C: Data for S14 k 7.3BRM lens.
If the lens to be used does not correspond to any of these types,
proceed to adjust the white shading described below by performing
menu operations.

1 Shoot a piece of paper with no color unevenness.
2 Set the lens iris to manual, and adjust it so that a zebra
pattern fills the whole screen. Check that the lens iris is
between f/4 and f/11.
<Notes>
≥ Flicker tends to occur under fluorescent lights, mercury lamps
and other such lighting conditions. Use sunlight, halogen
lamps or a light source which rarely give rises to flicker.
≥ If there is unevenness in the lighting, the zebra pattern will no
longer appear on some parts of the screen. In this situation,
adjust the lighting position, etc.
≥ Adjust the lighting position, etc. also when the lens iris is not
between f/4 and f/11.
≥ The electronic shutter must be left at the OFF setting.
