Note. Be sure the Lens Support and Bracket are in a fixed state when you use them.If the Lens is used when it is not in a fixed state, this may damage the Lens or Camera mounts.

ADJUSTMENT OF FLANGE FOCAL LENGTH

The flange focal length is the distance from the flange (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 flange focal length is required. Make sure to carry out the adjustment when installing the lens to a camera for the first time or installing it to another camera.

CONDITIONS OF OBJECT AND DIAPHRAGM

• Object : Use the Siemens Star (the chart made up of radial black and white lines) at the end of this manual.
• Distance of Object : About 3 meters
• Diaphragm : Open or as near to open as possible.
• Note ： The depth of field decreases by opening the aperture of the lens, and it becomes possible to focus on an object more precisely. To precisely adjust the flange focal length, carefully adjust the focus as much as possible.

ADJUSTMENT

After installing the lens to the camera and turning it ON, perform adjustment by watching the monitor of the camera. At this time, connect the lens cable to the connector on the bottom of the lens or to the lens connector of the camera. For the operation of focusing and zooming, refer to “Focus Operation” and “Zoom Operation” (pages 8 thru 14).

• 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. The 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 flange focal length is adjusted precisely. If it is not focused, the flange focal length is not adjusted sufficiently. In this case, start adjusting again  from step ‘b.’)
• h. Finally tighten the F.f locking knob firmly

Adjustment without power

If power cannot be supplied from the lens connector on the camera to the lens for some unavoidable reason, rotate the F.f adjustment gear (located inside the cover) using a finely pointed tool, for example, and adjust. If this adjustment is to be performed, replace the operation in step [c.] above with the operation involved in rotating the gear used for the flange-back adjustment, and proceed by performing steps [b. – g.]. After performing the adjustments, install the cover securely.

OPERATION

IRIS OPERATION

There are two iris operation modes: auto iris mode and manual mode. For the operating instruction in each mode, refer to the description on each mode.

AUTO IRIS MODE

Set the iris mode select switch to “A.” The iris of the lens will automatically be adjusted responding to the object brightness.

Note 1. When the IRIS A-M (Auto Iris) ON/OFF switch is set to OFF (refer to page 17), the iris operation mode will be in Manual, regardless of the iris mode select switch setting.

MANUAL MODE

• a. Set the iris mode select switch to “M.”
• b. Rotate the iris ring by hand to adjust the iris. From the camera side, clockwise rotation of the ring causes the iris to move toward the closed side and counterclockwise rotation toward the open side.
• Note 2. Although the iris operation mode is in Manual, the iris is adjusted automatically while the iris momentary switch is being pressed. Similarly, the iris auto mode is activated when the forced iris servo signal of a peripheral device connected to this product is set to ON.
• Note 3. The positions of the auto iris mode and the manual mode in the iris mode select switch can be interchanged by setting the iris A-M position change switch (refer to page 18) to ON. When the positions are interchanged, apply the mode indication label, enclosed with the lens, onto the mode indication part of the lens so as not to cause confusion.
• Note 4. Do not operate the iris ring manually when the built-in motor is performing the servo operation to turn the iris. Applying excessive force to the iris ring while the iris mode select switch is set to “A” or the auto iris mode is activated by pressing the iris momentary switch may cause a malfunction.
• Note 5. Do not attach an external motor and use it to operate the iris.This may cause a malfunction

FOCUS OPERATION

Manual Control

• a. Set the focus servo/manual select knob to “M”.
• b. Focusing can be done by directly rotating the focus ring by hand. Rotate the focus ring clockwise from the camera side to focus on an object on the near side.

Servo Control

Remote control operation is available by using an optional servo accessory (focus demand c ntroller). To use a servo accessory, set the focus servo/manual select knob to “S”.

• Note 1. When the focus servo/manual select knob is set to “S,” do not attempt to forcibly operate the focus ring or focus grip.Applying excessive force to the focus ring or focus grip while the servo operation is selected may cause a malfunction.
• Note 2. When attaching an external motor and using it to operate the focus, set the focus servo/manual select knob to MANUAL.This may cause a malfunction.

ZOOM OPERATION

The zoom can be operated in the following five operation modes.

For the operating instruction in each mode, refer to the description on each mode. The remote control operation is also available with optional accessories.

Note. When attaching an external motor and using it to operate the zoom, set the zoom servo/manual select knob to MANUAL.This may cause a malfunction.

Manual Operation

• a. Set the zoom servo / manual select knob to “M.”
• b. Rotate the zoom ring directly or using the zoom lever. Clockwise rotation of the zoom ring, viewed from the camera side, moves the zoom to the wide side, and counterclockwise rotation to the tele side. (When rotating the zoom ring directly, it is recommended to remove the zoom lever for smooth operation.)

Note. When performing the zoom operation using the manual operation mode, be sure to set the zoom servo/ manual select knob to “M.” Forcibly performing manual operation while the zoom servo / manual select knob is set to “S” may cause a malfunction.

Operation by Zoom Seesaw Control Lever

• a. Set the zoom servo/manual select knob to “S.”
• b. Press the zoom seesaw control lever.

Press T-side of the lever to zoom to the tele side, and the W-side to zoom to the wide side. For the speed control, adjust the strength to press the lever. Pressing the lever deeply makes the zoom speed faster, and shallowly makes slower.

< Control of Zoom Maximum Speed >

By means of the zoom maximum speed control knob (see the illustration below), the zoom maximum speed can be changed in seven steps. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the speed.

QuickZoom Operation

In quickzoom operation, pressing a switch moves the zoom to the tele end quickly. The operator can use this function in such occasions listed below.

• When rapid zooming to the tele end is required to focus on the object precisely.
• To confirm, in a moment, the composition of the image in the extreme close-up shot.

Note． If the zoom limit function is used, the zoom will stop at the zoom limit positions.In this case, the zoom may not reach the tele end or the wide end.

Operation

• a. Set the zoom servo/manual select knob to “S.”
• b. Keep pressing the quickzoom & auto cruising zoom switch until the zoom reaches the tele end.
• c. While pressing the quickzoom & auto cruising zoom switch, perform precise focusing or confirm the composition of the image in the extreme close-up shot.
• d. Release the quickzoom & auto cruising zoom switch.
• The zoom will move to its former position quickly.

( If you press the quickzoom & auto cruising zoom switch again before the zoom returns to its former position, the quickzoom movement restarts. After this operation, if the switch is released, the zoom will move to its former position quickly. )

• Note 1. In quickzoom operation, the zoom moves at the maximum speed irrespective of the setting position of the zoom maximum speed control knob.
• Note 2. If you press the quickzoom & auto cruising zoom switch while pressing the zoom seesaw control lever, the zoom moves in auto cruising zoom operation, not in quickzoom operation

Auto Cruising Zoom Operation

In auto cruising zoom operation, the zoom moves to the tele end or the wide end at a constant speed. This function is effective when a constant slow zoom speed is required across the zooming range.

Note． If the zoom limit function is used, the zoom will stop at the zoom limit positions.In this case, the zoom may not reach the tele end or the wide end.

Operation

• a. Set the zoom servo/manual select knob to “S.”
• b. Press the zoom seesaw control lever and adjust the zoom speed.
• c. While pressing the zoom seesaw control lever, press the quickzoom & auto cruising zoom switch.
  • The auto cruising zoom function will work.
• d. Release your hand from the zoom seesaw control lever.
  •  The zoom will move to the tele end or the wide end at a constant speed that is determined when the quickzoom & auto cruising zoom switch is pressed.

Releasing

There are three ways to release the auto cruising zoom operation mode.

1. Press the zoom seesaw control lever on the side of the direction of the zoom movement.
   •  When the amount of displacement of the zoom seesaw control lever exceeds that determined when the auto cruising zoom operation is set, the auto cruising zoom operation mode will be released.
   • After released, the zoom will move continuously toward the same direction as moved before releasing. 　　( In this way, the auto cruising zoom operation mode can be released maintaining the smooth zoom movement.）
2. Press the zoom seesaw control lever on the reverse side of the direction of the zoom movement.
   • The auto cruising zoom operation mode will be released immediately, and the zoom will move toward the reverse direction.
3. Press the quickzoom & auto cruising zoom switch.
   • The auto cruising zoom operation mode will be released immediately, and the zoom will stop.

Zoom Limit Operation

The zoom limit function can be used in the servo operation mode. (The setting of the zoom limit positions can be done in the manual operation mode.) By using this function, the zoom movement toward both the tele side and the wide side can be confined; therefore, zooming can be done within the desired shot angles

Setting of Zoom Limit Positions

Before shipment at the factory, the zoom limit positions were set at the tele end and the wide end respectively.

• a. If the zoom limit ON/OFF switch (SW1-⑧) is set to “OFF,” change it to “ON” position.
• b. Set the zoom servo/manual select knob to “M.”
• c. Move the zoom manually, and stop it at the position desired as a tele side zoom limit position.
