Installing the camera
Mounting and focusing S-Mount lenses
This section instructs how to use S-Mount lenses with your camera safely. S-Mount
lenses are screwed into the mount to adjust focus. Vibration moves lenses out of
position. Several techniques can be used to fasten S-Mount lenses in focus. We
recommend using fixing nuts. See instructions in this section.
CAUTION
Risk of cuts by sharp edges of lens mounts
The threads of the lens mount can have sharp edges.
Be careful when mounting or unmounting lenses.
NOTICE
Damage to sensor, optics, or electronics by unsuitable lenses
The sensor, filter, lens, or electronics can be damaged if a lens exceeding maximum
protrusion is mounted to the camera.
• Use lenses only up to the specified maximum protrusion, see Maximum
protrusion for front mounts on page 230.
• S-Mount lenses must be screwed into the camera at less than max. protrusion
(11.0 mm), see Mounting and focusing S-Mount lenses on page 266.
• Avoid short S-Mount lenses falling into the camera.
