Warning: If you have saved focus points, the following may cause you to lose your
focus point accuracy:
1. Turning the focus ring on the lens by hand.
2. Changing the focus step size.
3. Setting the focus command send rate too fast.
4. Changing the focal length of the lens (if using a zoom).
5. Initiating autofocus.
6. Continuing to turn the knob or holding a directional focus button after the focus reaches
the end of the focus range, while not using the focus stops.
7. Using a lens model with varying focus increments, resulting in focus point shift.
Recalibration: If you have saved several focus points but lost accuracy for any of the above
reasons, it is possible to recalibrate the lens without having to clear/save the focus points again.
To accomplish this, navigate to a saved focus point by pressing the appropriate button. Once the
focus stops moving, grasp the focus ring on the lens and turn it until the lens focus corresponds
with the saved focus point.
Controller Functions: Camera Settings
When settings mode is active (blue LED), it is possible to adjust certain camera parameters, as
long as the currently selected shooting mode on the camera also allows it.
Multi-function buttons 6 – 9 are each used for a specific setting:
Button 9: ISO
Button 8: Aperture
Button 7: Shutter speed
Button 6: Exposure compensation
To change a setting you must press and hold the assigned button, and then turn the knob to
increase or decrease the displayed value on the camera. The knob sensitivity is reduced while
changing a setting to make it easier to pick a new value. Once the new value is displayed on the
camera, release the button. The knob direction for each individual setting can be reversed.
Details on how to do this are in the Switch Test and Reversing Knob Direction section of
this manual.
Note: Settings can only be modified when recording is inactive. It is possible to change certain
parameters while recording video by using the on-camera controls, but the USB commands will
be ignored due to Canon's USB implementation.
