Aperture is set to F3.5 when you record movies with autofocusing. When you are using a lens with an
F3.5 or smaller F-stop, aperture is set to the maximum F-stop of the lens. When you want to set your own
value for aperture to record movies, select [Aperture Priority] or [Manual Exposure] in [Shoot Mode],
and select manual focusing. If you change the aperture while recording a movie, the noise may be heard
or the screen may become brighter while the camcorder is processing the adjustment.

It is recommended that you adjust the position under actual shooting conditions.
When you attach a lens for which you have already registered a value, the registered value appears on the
screen. [ 0] appears for lens for which a value has yet to be registered.
If [–] appears, more than 30 lenses have been registered. If you want to register another lens, you must
first clear a value. Attach a lens of the value to be cleared and select [ 0]. If you want to clear all
registered values, select [Clear].

Use [AF Micro Adj.] with Sony, Minolta, and Konika-Minolta lenses only. If you use [AF Micro Adj.]
with other brands of lenses, the registered value may be affected.
