# CONTROL/ITEM DESCRIPTION
9 Grip Ergonomic molded rubber grip
1. The Focus Control Wheel is NOT programmable; it cannot be mapped to another function.
NOTE: Some DSMC2 Side Handle keys are programmable. For more information, go to "Default Key Functions" on
page256.
FOCUS CONTROL WHEEL
The Focus Control Wheel allows you to physically control the focus length directly from the DSMC2 Side Handle. The
wheel features 270° rotation, and each physical location on the wheel maps directly to a specific focus length of the
lens. The far left point (turning counter-clockwise) maps to the shortest focus distance of the lens, while the far right
point (turning clockwise) maps to the farthest focus distance of the lens (or infinity).
When a DSMC2 Side Handle is attached, you can continue to adjust focus via the Lens menu Menu > Settings >
Setup > Lens, if preferred.
To control focus via the Focus Control Wheel, follow the instructions below:
1. Install a DSMC Nikon Mount or DSMC Canon Mount with a supported lens. For more information on supported
lenses, go to "Lenses" on page244.
2.
Set the lens to Auto.
3. Turn on the camera (if it is not already turned on).
The lens initializes and the camera maps each point on the Focus Control Wheel to a focal length of the lens.
4. Control the focal length by moving the Focus Control Wheel:
Clockwise (Away from camera): Increase focus distance
Counter-Clockwise (Toward camera): Decrease focus distance
5.
To re-initialize the lens (remap the Focus Control Wheel to the lens focal lengths), go to Menu > Settings > Setup
> Lens and select Lens Init.
