Weather-sealed, tactile switches are used throughout. The integrated microwave antenna is protected from impact. New software called "Lens Mapping" matches the focus distances of a lens to a set of five pre-printed Focus Marking Rings. These rings differ in their minimum focus distance from 9".

The on-board lens library holds data for lenses: lens changes require only the few seconds to choose the lens from the library. The primary references for the focus puller are the distance marks on the focus rings. The set of focus rings have large, easy to read, distance marks printed on a bright fluorescent background for excellent visibility under all lighting conditions. The rings are automatically illuminated in low light conditions by a pair of white LED's. Focus settings can be displayed digitally for Cooke i-Lenses, or any lens which has been calibrated to the unit.

Multiple focus marks can be displayed in a new focus display mode called "show". This mode gives an easy to interpret bargraph representation the distance set by the focus knob and any focus marks entered by the user. An integrated hand grip and molded focus knob grip imparts comfortable operation.

The zoom bargraph shows both the zoom lens position as well as user set end limits. An LED in each group indicates when limits have been set.

The Micro Force zoom control began this tradition by using force sensor technology to control the zoom speed. In the years since its introduction, it has truly become the "industry standard" controller.

The job was simple, a single shot of an actress saying one line, static on green screen. It was like a semi sick joke to keep working, but one shot, static! Also, talent seems kinda pissed about everything—but mostly about being there. Given the luxury of the work environment, I did 2 tests with the rest of our set crew and our stand-in actress. The auto focus engaged. It was perfect. We did the shot maybe 10 times in 4 minutes, each a success.

That was the sweetest yet. UK : Optical Support: opticalsupport. France: HD Systems: hd-systems. Save Save. Content is in no way linked to sponsorship. We write about the things we use.
