CREATE LENS CALIBRATION FILES
The calibration process creates a calibration file for the current focal length of the electronic lens. Calibrate the
lens at each available focal length to create a full lens calibration file.
1. Attach a DSMC Canon Mount or DSMC Nikon Mount to the camera.
2. Attach an electronic lens.
3. Manually set the first focal length you want to calibrate.
4. There are two (2) ways to start the lens calibration process:
‒
When you attach a lens that the camera does not recognize, the “Unsupported Lens Found” dialog box
displays and asks if you want to calibrate the lens. Select
Create Custom Lens Config
.
‒
Go to
Menu
>
Settings
>
Maintenance
>
Calibrate
>
Lens
and select
Create...
.
The lens calibration process for the current focal length starts and a progress bar displays. Once the
calibration process starts, DO NOT touch the lens, as doing so may cause the lens to calibrate incorrectly.
5. Select
OK
after the calibration file is created.
6. To calibrate the next focal length, follow the instructions below:
A. Go to
Menu
>
Settings
>
Maintenance
>
Calibrate
>
Lens
.
B. Select the calibration file name in the
Camera
list and select
Edit...
.
C. Manually set the next focal length.
D. Select
Add Cal @ xx...
, where “xx” is the current focal length.
NOTE:
If you calibrate a focal length that has already been calibrated, the new file overrides the previ-
ous file.
The lens calibration process for the current focal length starts and a progress bar displays. Once the
calibration process starts, DO NOT touch the lens, since that may cause incorrect calibration.
7. Repeat
for each focal length of the lens.
The lens calibration file remains on the camera after system restores and firmware upgrades.
