Fitting The Lens - Hugyfot HFN-D7200 User Manual

6. Fitting the lens

When using zoom lenses, fit the zoom gear before fitting the lens to the ca-
mera. When using fixed focal lenses, fit the focus gear (if applicable) before
fitting the lens to the camera body. Hugyfot provides several zoom and focus
gears depending on the brand, model or type of lens. Please check the lens
charts on our website to look up the appropriate zoom or focus gear for your
lens.
To fit the zoom or focus gear, keep in mind the following guidelines:
- the black teethed outer ring should be positioned onto the lens as far to the
back (bayonet) as possible without touching the camera's internal strobe
(keep approx 3 mm of play);
- the white inner ring should be fit into the black teethed outer ring so it
exactly matches the lenses' zoom or focus ring;
- when inserting the white inner ring, make sure that its grooves coincide
with the ones inside the black outer ring.
Depending on the brand, model or type of lens, it may be necessary to slide
the complete gear set over the lens starting from the front end or starting from
the back end. A larger lens diameter at the front will make you start from the
back while control switches at the back of the lens will make you start from
the front end.
While fixing the zoom or focus gear, make sure that your lens is equipped with
a dust cap on both ends to prevent the optics from becoming dirty (finger-
prints, ...).
Before fixing the lens, make sure that the lens release lever is upwards (1).
Once the lens is fitted, try the lens release lever to check on its function. Af-
ter tes ting, turn the lens release lever upwards again to ensure that the lens
release button on the camera is not pushed. The housing is now ready to be
fitted with the port.
