5. Lens Data
If you have purchased and activated a ‘Lens Data Handling License Key’ for your
compact
LCS
via cworld, your system will be capable of creating, storing and displaying information including;
real-time focus, iris and zoom positions, Depth of Field and Hyperfocal distance.
5.1. Loading Lens Data into the System
Lens data files that have been created using cworld can be transferred and saved directly on any
compact
LCS
hand unit
with the lens data handling feature ‘active’. With cworld connected to the
end motor in the daisy-chain configuration (using cable LCB-7), up to 14 individual lens files can
be selected using a wireless smart device, and sent to the LBUS connected device -
compact
LCS
camin
. This data is then sent from the
camin
to the
hand unit
via the RF connection. Please
refer to our video tutorials and cworld documentation for further information.
When using Lens Data, the
compactLCS hand unit
can display a wealth of useful lens
information:

focus value respectively.
■
Hyperfocal Distance. The current hyperfocal distance is indicited by a green line
and the letter “H”.
