When using the flange back adjustment jig, take care of
the following points:
• For the illumination, use a light source such as an in-

candescent lamp or inverter type fluorescent light free
from flickering.

• Do not make an adjustment in the environment where

fluorescent lamp flickering occurs even if the illumi-
nance can be ensured with the room illumination only.
Use an incandescent lamp or inverter type fluorescent
light at a place free from the influence of room illumi-
nation.

1) Install the flange back adjustment jig so that the distance be-

tween it and the front of lens of camera is less than 3 cm.

2) Make the height of flange back adjustment jig and the camera

equal.

3) Check that the center of chart meets the center of shot image

screen with the zoom lens at TELE end and WIDE end respec-
tively.
