The FocusShifter Set includes
1. One FocusShifter with adjustable belt
2. One Marker Board
3. One fine tip dry erase marker
4. Two elastic bands for attaching the marker board
5. Two clips for setting hard focus stops
6. One Balance Counterweight
7. One custom carry pouch
Installing the Marker Board
1. Place the elastic band around the lens next to the focus
ring.
2. Pull the elastic band away from the lens, and place it
over the foot of the marker board.
Note: The holes at the ends of the marker board are for alignment during
manufacturing. They will not be used when setting up the marker board.
3. Position the marker board next to the focus ring. The
Marker Board should now be attached to the lens as shown
below. One elastic band is usually sufficient to hold it on
without slipping.
Installing the FocusShifter
1. Open the FocusShifter (turn the ball at the end counter
clockwise) so that the loop of belt is large enough to slip
over the end of the lens.
2. Slip it over and onto the focus ring.
3. Place it so that the arrow overhangs the Marker Board.
4. Tighten up the belt by turning the ball clockwise.
5. Adjust the belt tension to your preference.
Using the FocusShifter
You can set focus points using the dry erase marker, or
hard focus stops using the clips.
1. When using the Marker Board with a dry erase pen, the
FocusShifter can be placed closer to the Marker Board.
2. When using the hard stops, attach them onto the top
edge of the marker board, at the focus stop positions.
Position the marker board such that only the FocusShifter
arrow comes into contact with the hard stop.
