General Notes.
This section addresses the installation of two Lens Gear Drives
(LGD’s) in Z3. This is relatively straightforward, using only two parts for each lens
control: a drive shaft and drive gear.
✓
Select drive shaft length
. Several lengths of drive shaft are included with the Z3
kit. Select the length to reach the lens gear but does not reach past it.
Install this drive shaft into the coupler on the housing. Using the tool provided in the
kit, tighten the shaft onto the coupler.
✓
Select and install the Lens Gear Drive
. Note that your kit comes with six versions.
Two are specifically designed for Flex Gears recessed into the housing, close to the
camera. Refer to the images below.
Once positioned, secure the Lens Gear Drive with the tool provided in your kit.
✓
Pivot the LGD into position
to mesh smoothly with the Flex Gears.
✓
Tighten the screw
as shown in the images to secure the LGD in position.
✓
Verify smooth operation
of the Focus and Zoom controls.
