HOUSING & CAMCORDER OPERATION
ZOOMING
On the PHENOM, zooming is achieved either with the zoom
wheel or the right grip's ZOOM-W and ZOOM-T buttons.
Zoom Wheel
The zoom wheel enables you to vary the zoom speed.
ZOOM-W and ZOOM-T
Located on the right grip, the ZOOM-W and ZOOM-T
buttons enables you to zoom through with a constant speed.
Pressing on ZOOM-W will widen the zoom while pressing on
ZOOM-T will result in the opposite being telephoto.
FOCUSING
The camcorder focus on the PHENOM can be set to either
auto or manual focus. To toggle from auto to manual focus,
press down on the AF TOGGLE button while holding down
the shift key.
Manual Focus
In manual focus, you can adjust the focus by using the focus
wheel to fine adjust the focus.
Use the MOMENT AF button (by holding it down) to
temporally auto focus. Letting go will return to manual focus.
Expanded Focus
Press the EXP. FOCUS button to magnify the center of the
screen when in manual focus. Pressing it again will bring
back the screen to its original size.
Zoom and Focus Wheel functionality
Both the zoom and focus wheel operate in the same fashion.
The wheels are spring loaded and maintain a zero (non
active) position when not in use. Applying a little movement
on the wheel in either directions will result in a slow speed.
Increasing the movement on the wheel will accelerate the
speed.

PREPARING CAMCORDER & HOUSING
VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE
The viewfinder eyepiece located on the rear of the housing
may also need adjustment. To adjust, simply turn the inside
ring on the viewfinder CW or CCW to achieve perfect focus
with the camcorder viewfinder. Tighten the locking ring up
against the viewfinder body to lock the eyepiece in place
once adjusted.
REPLACING THE BAYONET LENS
The PHENOM is provided with optional bayonet mounted
lenses. In order to protect these optics, covers are provided
with the lens.
1.
To remove the lens, push and hold the button on the lower
right of the front bulkhead and then turn counter clockwise
until the lugs are free from the bayonet ring. Pull gently on
the lens to release it.
2.
Remove the covers from the replacement lens. Place
them in a clean and dry environment to avoid any damage.
Make sure the seals on the bottom part of the lens are clean
and free from dust and debris.
3.
Put a small amount of lubricant on the O-ring seals and
the sealing surface of the housing.
4.
Line up the bayonet lug marked by a hole with the button
on the lower right of the front bulkhead. Push the lens all the
way in until it sits on the bayonet ring and turn clockwise.
You will hear a positive click and the lens will lock into place.
