Setup of the controller 

 
Because of the compatibility with all major lens manufacturers and the ability to 
configure the Z

i

F to your needs, there is a built-in setup menu. 

 
Pushing the SET- and EZ-focus key simultaneously during powering on the camera 
will enter this setup-menu. The following items will be shown in the display with a 1 
second interval when you entered the setup-menu.

To do so, you need to enter the setup menu as mentioned above. Releasing the 
SET- or EZ-focus key at the required setting will activate this setting. The selected 
setting will remain to be shown in the display. After turning the power off and on 
again it will become active.  
 
Only one setup item can be changed at the time. If you want to do multiple 
changes you have to do the configuration for all the items separately!
