the camcorder, and cause fire.
Notes
• Attach/remove a lens while the camcorder is turned
off.
• A lens is a precision part. Do not place the lens directly
with the mount part down. Attach the cover supplied
with the lens.

to correspond with the lenses SCL-P35T20/P50T20/
P85T20, SCL-P11X15 and lenses with a Cooke-type
connector. When using a lens with an ARRI-type
connector, set "Lens interface" (page 49) in the
Camera menu to "Type A." Set to "Off" for SCL-PK6
or other lenses. If this setting is not correct, an alert
message appears when the camcorder is turned on after
