- If a subject of insufficient contrast is used, or if the camcorder or subject moves during the adjustment, adjustment cannot be made properly. Once the adjustment begins, do not touch the camcorder body or lens until it ends.
- When “Setting” of the “EX Slow Shutter” of the CAMERA SET menu is “On,” be sure to set it to “Off” before starting the adjustment.
- Be careful that no light source, such as a lamp, the sun, or a bright window, is in field of view during flange focal length adjustment.
