							14
  Lens flangeback adjustment
When operating a zoom lens, if the focus is not precisely aligned at both the telephoto and wide angle
extremes of the lens, the flangeback (distance from the lens mounting plane to the focal plane) is adjusted.
This adjustment is generally required only once unless the lens is replaced.
Reference
Refer to the lens operating instructions regarding the component positions for flangeback adjustment.
Flangeback adjustment
1Set the lens iris for manual operation.
2Open the iris.    Set a flangeback adjusting
chart about 3 meters distant and adjust the
lighting to obtain the correct video output level.
If the video level is too high, use a CC/ND filter
or electronic shutter.
3Loosen the Ff ring setscrew.
4By hand or motor, set the zoom ring to the
telephoto position.
5Observe the flangeback    chart image and turnthe distance ring to adjust the focus.
6Set the zoom ring to the wide angle position.
7Turn the Ff ring and adjust the focus.    Use
care not to turn the distance ring.
8Repeat this process until focus is obtained at
both telephoto and wide angle settings.
9Securely tighten the Ff ring setscrew.
ÔyAlso, see the lens operating instructions. 
						

							15
  White shading adjustment
White shading adjustment is recommended after replacing the lens.    The adjustment relates to the
camera vertical coloration.    If the lens includes an extender, the shading can be optimized for both
extender on and off modes.
(Vertical coloration refers to an effect whereby the image of an overall white sheet of paper tends toward
green at the top and magenta at the bottom, or vice versa.)
Adjustment steps
1Install the lens on the camera (be sure to connect the lens cable).
2Set the electronic shutter to off and the gain to L (0 dB).
3If provided, set the lens extender to off.
4Notice that flicker can occur with fluorescent or mercury lighting.    Therefore, use sunlight or halogen as
the light source.
In the auto iris mode, check that the iris is between F4 and F11.    If necessary, adjust the light source
position (be sure the electronic shutter is off).
