a (Network) connector (RJ-45 type, 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX) 
Connects to a network cable when configuring the camera 
from a web browser on a computer. 
For a network cable connection, the IP address must be 
configured in the Network menu in the VF menu. 
For details, see “4-2-6 Network Menu” (page 60). 
 For safety, do not connect the connector for peripheral  device wiring that might have excessive voltage to this 
port. Follow the instructions for this port. 
 When you connect the network cable of the unit to  peripheral device, use a shielded-type cable to prevent 
malfunction due to radiation noise.
 Par mesure de sécurité, ne raccordez pas le connecteur  pour le câblage de périphériques pouvant avoir une 
tension excessive à ce port. Suivez les instructions pour 
ce port.
 Lors de la connexion du câble réseau de l’appareil au  périphérique, utilisez un câble blindé afin d’empêcher 
tout dysfonctionnement dû au bruit de rayonnement.
 Aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht mit einem  Peripheriegerät-Anschluss verbinden, der zu starke 
Spannung für diese Buchse haben könnte. Folgen Sie 
den Anweisungen für diese Buchse.

Mounting the SR-R4

Installation and 
Preparations
2-1 Mounting the SR-R4
The SR-R4 docks on the rear of the camera head.
For details about mounting the SR-R4, refer to the 
Operation Manual of the SR-R4.
 SR-R4/SRK-CP1 software V3.00 or later is required in order to use the various functions described in this 
manual.
 Always turn off the camera power supply when  mounting the SR-R4.   The recorder connector for connecting the SR-R4 is an 
optical connector. Attach the connector cap on the 
optical connector when not connected to an SR-R4 to 
protect the connector. After removing the cap, store it in 
the position shown in the following figure for 
safekeeping. 
 When mounting the SR-R4, fix the camera head on a  tripod in advance to keep the camera head stable.
For tripod mounting, see “2-5 Mounting the Camera on 
a Tripod” (page 22).
 When the camera is used with the SR-R4 docked, make  sure that the camera is securely fixed and stable so that it 
will not fall over.

18Attaching a Filter
  Chapter 2   Installation and Preparations
2-2 Attaching a Filter
You can mount commercially available gel filters in the 
supplied filter holder and then attach them to the camera if 
you wish to use an ND filter in F65RAW-HFR mode or 
wish to use a filter other than those built into the camera.
Recommended filter: Fujifilm neutral density filters
1Place the filter template (metallic disc) on the gel filter, 
then trim the filter around the edge of the filter 
template.
2Remove the ring from the filter holder, place the filter 
on the ring, and then attach the holder.
3Align the protrusion on the mounting tool with the 
notch on the filter holder, then insert the holder into the 
tool.
4Align the notch on the filter mount with the protrusion 
on the filter holder, insert the mounting tool onto the 
filter mount, and then turn clockwise until it clicks into 
place.
5Pull the mounting tool straight off.
The mounting tool separates from the camera, and the 
filter is mounted in place.
To remove the filter
1Align the protrusion on the mounting tool with the 
notch on the filter holder, then press the tool onto the 
filter mount.
Press the tool until it clicks into place.
2Rotate the mounting tool counterclockwise, then lift 
the tool off the camera.
The filter holder is removed with the mounting tool.

19Attaching a Lens
  Chapter 2   Installation and Preparations
2-3 Attaching a Lens
Attach a lens that conforms to the PL lens mount.
Always use a lens whose projection from the flange (A in 
the figure) is less than 31.5 mm (1 
1/4 inch). Use of any lens 
that protrudes more than 31.5 mm (1 1/4 inch) will damage 
the internal filter. 
For information on handling lenses, refer to the operation 
manual for the lens.
1Rotate the lens fixing lever counterclockwise and 
remove the lens mount cap from the lens mount.
2Align the lens’ alignment pin with the notch in the 
upper part of the lens mount and insert the lens into the 
mount.
3While supporting the lens, rotate the lens fixing lever 
clockwise to secure the lens. Changing the position of the lens fixing lever 
Remove the four screws from the face of the lens fixing 
lever indicated in the figure. Change the position of the 
fixing lever, reinsert the screws and securely tighten. 
Adjusting the flange focal length
The optical section uses materials not susceptible to 
thermal expansion, so flange back adjustment is generally 
not required. However, if you want to make an adjustment, 
remove the lens mount and replace the shim with one of the 
appropriate thickness. At shipment, a 0.05 mm 
(0.0020 inch) shim is installed. The following replacement 
shims are available. 
When using the camera in HFR mode, the lens distance 
indicator may be slightly off, but this is not a malfunction. 
For information about replacing shims, consult your local 
Sony representative.

20Attaching a Lens
  Chapter 2   Installation and Preparations
To change a shim
Exercise care not to damage the internal wiring of the 
camera when changing the shim. Modifying a shim, 
scratching a surface, or introducing dust can change the 
flange back distance and damage the camera such that it 
cannot be restored to original condition, just as for a film 
camera. 
1Remove the lens mount screws (6). 
2Pull the lens mount out by about 10 mm (13/32 inch) 
and remove the shim carefully. 
Pass the shim slit over the wiring, taking care not to 
pull the wiring, when removing the shim. 
Pulling the lens mount out by more than 20 mm 
(
3/4 inch) risks damage to the internal wiring. 
3Insert the replacement shim using the shim slit to clear 
the wiring, and align the camera screw holes and shim 
alignment pins.
4Reattach the lens mount in its original position, and 
fasten the screws to a torque of 0.53 N·m (0.39 lbf).
