Getting Started

The FC1 USB Focus Controller comes assembled with two AAA alkaline batteries installed.
Before beginning, verify that your camera is a model that is known to work with the controller:
1DX • 1D Mark IV
5D Mark III • 5D Mark II
7D • 6D • 60D
650D/Rebel T4i/Kiss X6
600D/Rebel T3i/Kiss X5
550D/Rebel T2i/Kiss X4
500D/Rebel T1i/Kiss X3
An autofocus lens must be installed on the camera if you intend to use the controller's focus
features. Manual focus lenses will also work, but you lose the ability to control focus or use the
focus point functions. Canon USM or equivalent autofocus lenses are recommended — they tend
to be quieter, smoother and more consistent.
1. With the camera off, connect the controller using a USB A to mini-B cable. Turn on the FC1
USB Focus Controller by sliding the power switch to the "on" position, away from the focus knob.
The LED indicator will display the current battery level with a flickering red, yellow, or green light,
followed by the controller status:
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple
Red
2. Turn on the camera. The LED should change from yellow to green, indicating that the USB
connection has been established and the FC1 USB Focus Controller is now in the focus point
mode.
3. If the live view display on the camera is turned on, you can adjust focus by turning the knob
or use any of the other functions described in the Controller Functions section of this manual.
Before using the FC1 USB Focus Controller, familiarize yourself with setting the focus command
send rate described in the Changing the Focus Command Send Rate section of this manual.
