PERSONALIZED LENS SETTINGS

The total angle of rotation of the lens used for focusing can be indi-
vidually adjusted. The setting selected indicates the angle of rotation
required to change the focus setting from infinity to the nearest pos-
sible distance. Example: for a setting to , the entire focus range
90° 90°
will be run through when the focus setting ring is turned by one quar-
ter. A full turn of the focus setting ring will be needed for a setting to
. Smaller values facilitate a faster, larger values a more precise
360° 360°
adjustment. A setting to offers the highest precision.
Maximum Maximum
Unlike the permanent settings, a setting to will result

in a non-linear dependency of rotation angle and focus setting. The
extent of the change depends dynamically on the speed of rotation.
With slow rotation, the same angle of rotation (e.g. 45°) causes a
smaller change than with fast rotation.

PRACTICAL DEFAULT SETTINGS ▸ PERSONALIZED LENS SETTINGS / EV INCREMENT

EV INCREMENT

You can choose between 1⁄2 EV or 1⁄3 EV graduations. This will allow
you to choose between stronger or more subtle effects for your
relevant settings.
This setting doesn't just apply for exposure compensation settings.
It also specifies the sensitivity of the setting wheels in standard
shooting mode, i.e. the increment width with which the shutter
speeds and the aperture will be set. A setting to

shutter speeds and aperture values that much faster each time the
setting wheel is moved one click further and the correct setting is
achieved quicker. A setting to facilitates a more precise setting.
