Operating Procedure
Make sure that the EF lens focus mode switch is set to
manual ( F-1 ). Focus using the lens manual focusing
ring ( F-2 ).
Auto Exposure (AE)
This adapter relays signals from the aperture (iris)
controls of the camcorder to the EF lens, allowing the
AE functions of the camcorder to operate.
A. Push AE Recording
Since EF lenses were designed for use with still
cameras, the sound of the lens motor is louder than that
of a camcorder lens. As a result, if you operate the AE
function during recording the sound of the lens motor
may be recorded. Therefore, use the Push AE button
only when exposure adjustments are absolutely
necessary.
1. Press the Push AE button ( G ).
2. After the camcorder adjusts the exposure, release
the Push AE button.
●
The exposure setting remains fixed at the point
when the button was released.
B. AE Lever Recording
When the AE lever is locked, AE operates continuously.
●
If the programmed AE of the camcorder is set to
Manual or Av, the AE does not operate. Adjust the
exposure manually.
1. Turn the AE lever clockwise to lock the operation
( H-1 ).
2. Turn the AE lever anticlockwise to release the lock
( H-2 ).
Cautions
●
Since EF lenses are different in optical design from
video lenses, when they are used on a camcorder
there are limits placed on the AE function.
When recording a brightly lit subject attach an ND
filter or use a higher shutter speed.
