6.2.3.7.5. AF Ramp mode*
The AF Ramp mode menu contains all settings related to autofocus ramp functions.
These consist of:
O
Time mode
Speed mode
Manual mode
In order to use AF ramps, a user button needs to be assigned to Target A, B, C or M
(M stands for manual focus controller). In order to assign a user button function to Target
A, B, C or M, please refer to section “6.2.3.8. BUTTONS” on page 94 in this manual.
AF Ramp modes allow you to execute an automatic or manual focus pull between the
knob position and an AF target. Or, between two AF targets.
* RANGE license key required
6.2.3.7.5.1. O
When the AF ramp mode is set to O, autofocus will shift to the next target using the
motor’s maximum speed. As soon as a user button assigned to Target A, B, C or M is
being pressed, the focus will shift without a ramp eect.
6.2.3.7.5.2. Time mode
When the AF ramp mode is assigned to Time mode, a dedicated time can be assigned
to shift focus from one target to the other. The motor speed will adapt within the set time
automatically to allow a smooth focus transition. To set the time for an automatic focus
pull between two targets, please refer to section “6.2.3.7.6. AF Ramp time” on page
93.

As soon as a user button assigned to Target A, B, C or M has been pressed, autofocus
will be activated and the focus ramp will start automatically. On the rangender main
screen, the selected target will be highlighted using the target direction indicator. The
time ramp will also be visualized. After the ramp has nished, the target will continue to
be tracked.
Pressing another assigned target button will start another time ramp to the next target
automatically.* You can exit the ramp mode by turning the autofocus o (e.g. AF toggle)
or by pressing Target M. This allows you to switch to manual focus control as soon as
the time ramp is completed.
