Engaging the zoom/focus locking system

How to unlock the zoom ring and the focus ring of the lens?

Both zoom ring and focus ring are unlocked at the same time.
1. Release (i.e. counterclockwise) the zoom/focus locking knob until no resistance is felt anymore

Back Focal Length

What can be done ?

The position of the projector lens in relation to the interpolation lens can be adjusted. The lens can be shifted towards or away from
the projector chassis . By doing so, the back focal length is adjusted and the focus is set to an optimal value. This adjustment will
allow to bene

fi

t from the largest adjustment range for the lens focus (motorized lens focus).
