6.2.3.2.1.1. Control
The control menu allows you to assign the axis you want to control (Focus / Iris / Zoom
/ Filter / Aux / AF ramp / Off) to the knob. If you select Off, the knob will have no control
over any axis and will turn its marker ring illumination and status LEDs off.
6.2.3.2.1.2. Knob direction
The knob direction menu allows you to change the knob direction from left to right. Left
means that infinity is on the end stop turning the knob clockwise. Right means that infinity
is on the end stop turning the knob counter-clockwise.
Note: Knob direction can be adjusted with individually marked focus rings only. With pre-
marked focus rings the knob direction is always left / counter-clockwise.
6.2.3.2.1.3. Knob limits
The knob limits menu allows you to set three different limit modes.
Motor limits
Motor + control limits
Control limits
Motor limits: This function spreads a predefined rotation of the assigned motor to the full
rotation of the knob. E.g. for macro shots or precice, shallow focus pulls where you want
to have more resolution for a certain range of the lens.
Motor + control limits: This function limits the travel of the knob and the travel of the focus
motor. Basically, this function allows you to set electronic hard stops at two predefined
focus marks.
