GENERAL DESCRIPTION
is lens is a bayonet mount type zoom lens developed for a color TV Camera.
INSTALLATION ONTO CAMERA
Note. Prior to installation of the lens, turn o the power of the camera.
WARNING
Be sure to attach all the parts securely. Dropping any parts from a height may cause severe accidents.
a. a. Take the rear lens cap o.
b. Rotate the mount clamp ring on the camera fully counterclockwise.
c. Fit the mounting surface of the lens to that of the camera aligning the pin on the lens with the slot in the camera.
d. Rotate the mount clamp ring fully clockwise.
e. Connect the cable of the lens to the connector, provided for the lens, on the camera.
Note. Make sure to adjust the ange focal length when installing the lens on a camera for the rst time or installing it
on another camera (refer to the next page for details).
If the ange focal length between the lens and the camera is not adjusted precisely, it will aect the shot because
the object will be out of focus during a zoom operation. Also, the optimal optical performance of the lens will
not be achieved.

ADJUSTMENT OF FLANGE FOCAL LENGTH
e ange focal length is the distance from the ange (mounting surface) of a lens to the focal plane.
If the focal plane of the lens does not coincide with the image plane of the camera, the object will be out of focus
during a zoom operation. To prevent this from happening, the adjustment of the ange focal length is required. Make
sure to carry out the adjustment when installing the lens to a camera for the rst time or installing it to another
camera.
CONDITIONS OF OBJECT AND DIAPHRAGM
1. Object: cut “Siemens Star” o at the end of this manual and use it as an object
2. Distance of Object: about 3 meters
3. Diaphragm: open or as near to open as possible
Note. e depth of eld decreases by opening the aperture of the lens, and it becomes possible to focus on an object
more precisely. To precisely adjust the ange focal length, carefully adjust the focus as much as possible.

ADJUSTMENT
Aer installing the lens to the camera and turning it ON, perform adjustment by watching the monitor of the camera.
For the operation of focusing and zooming, refer to “Focus Operation” and “Zoom Operation” (pages 7 and 8).
a. Loosen the F.f locking knob by rotating it counterclockwise.
b. Operate the zoom to set it to the wide end.
c. Rotate the F.f adjusting ring using the F.f locking knob to focus on the Siemens Star located approximately 3 meters
away. e position where the radial black and white lines become sharpest is the optimum focus position.
d. Operate the zoom to set it to the telephoto end.
e. Operate the focus to bring the object into focus.
f. Operate the zoom to set it to the wide end again, and check that the optimum focus position adjusted in step ‘c’ is
kept.
g. To adjust precisely, repeat the above steps ‘b’ through ‘f’ several times.
(If the most optimum focus position usually holds in all zoom areas, the ange focal length is adjusted precisely. If
it is not focused, the ange focal length is not adjusted suciently. In this case, start adjusting again from step ‘b.’)
h. Finally tighten the F.f locking knob rmly.
