Adjusting the white shading of the lens
The white shading is adjusted as follows.
<Notes>
≥
Coloring may occur in the vertical direction near where the
lens aperture is open even when the white shading has
been adjusted. This is something that is inherent to lenses
and optical systems and is therefore not indicative of a
failure or malfunctioning.
≥ The white shading cannot be adjusted when the digital
zoom function is working. To adjust the white shading,
release the digital zoom function first (by pressing again the
USER button to which D.ZOOM is allocated).

Set the electronic shutter to OFF and the gain to “L (0
dB).”

Attach the lens to the camera.
At this stage, do not forget to connect the lens cable.
