Lightweight and costeffective, the .6X Wide Angle Adapter increases coverage by 40%. This professional optical tool yields a much wider angle of view with extremely low distortion. Once in place it permits partial zoom only making this add-on ideal for shooting situations in which full zoom isn’t needed.
Focusing on the Sony PMW-EX1
Like all wide adapters, the Century .6X uses the macro feature of the camera to achieve focus. Be sure the macro mode is enabled when using either the auto-focus or electronic manual focus modes of this camera.
NOTE: The full manual focus mode of the Sony PMW-EX1 disables the macro focus ability of the video camera's zoom lens. As a result, this mode CANNOT be used in conjunction with wide adapters.
