8.1.6 FOCUS TRACKING
The focus tracking is a function that keeps the focal distance at the same point regardless the
movement of the crane. The different modes are: TRACK CRANE, CINETAPE and CINETAPE M.
To use any of these functions, a Scorpio Focus must be connected to
the system by wire and the lens marks must be pre-introduced into
the system. To introduce the lens points into the control for the head
go to MENU → Settings → Focus Range (fig. 08.16b). Move the focus
motor until one of the focal marks on the lens. In this mark press the
ADD POINT button. A keypad will appear to introduce the focal
distance mark (using the enter button). Now repeat the same process
with the rest of the marks on the lens. Once all the marks are
introduced and the state is ENABLED, in the main screen will be
displayed the current focal length on the top left corner.
TRACK CRANE
The track crane requires the motion generator feature to be enabled
only in the manual distance mode (chapter 8.1.3).
Once the motion generator is enabled and the point has been
generated, it is possible to enable the track crane and the focal
distance will be automatically adjusted to the same tracking point of
the crane.
CINETAPE & CINETAPE M
The Cinetape and the Cinetape M modes require to have a cinetape
connected to the Scorpio Focus. When the CINETAPE mode is
ENABLED, this mode will use the current distance reading of the
cinetape to set the focal distance at that distance all the time. Since
the reading of the cinetape can vary in high values depending on the
proximity of the objects, there is the possibility to add damping to the
movement of the focus motor in this screen.
The Cinetape M mode will use the distance reading of the cinetape to
set the focal point ONLY at the moment of enable it. If the distance
reading changes after the mode has been enabled, the system will not
change the focal distance to the new reading.

Note: The focus puller can always override any of these functions to readjust the focal
distance to the target. The minimal focal distance to track is 0.50m (19 inches).
