LENS LIBRARY MAIN SCREEN 

This is the entry point into the Lens Editor and Selection Displays. It also shows the currently selected lens information.

•  Select/Add:

 Allows adding or deleting a lens for use.

•  Current Lens:

 

•  Mfg: 

Manufacturer

•  Type: 

Model name of the lens

•  Ser# (Serial Number): 

Can be used to store a unique identifier that allows the user to identify the lens.

•  Axes: 

This shows which axes are maped in the selected lens file. Lenses do not need to have all axes mapped,  

 

even if they physically have them. This can be any combination of focus, iris and/or zoom.

•  F L (Focal Length):

 This is the Focal Length for prime lenses, or Focal Length Range for zoom lenses.
