When controlling the focus with HXLink, make sure the lens focus switch is set to AF (Auto Focus).
If the focus switch is set to MF (Manual Focus), the focus cannot be operated from HXLink.
When operating the lens from HXLink, first initialize the aperture and focus.
After starting up the camera, if not initialized once, the aperture-focus cannot be controlled.
Adjusting the focus with manual lens operation
Focal adjustment can be done manually with the lens, but with manual operation, the proper lens focal
position cannot be retrieved from HXLink.
If adjusting the focus with HXLink after manually adjusting the focus, perform relative displacement
or control the focal position after initializing the focus.
Once the focus is initialized, the lens focus position cannot be returned to the state prior to
initialization.
