Arahan Operasi

The NEEWER Mini Follow Focus is designed for intuitive and precise control:

  1. Pelarasan Fokus Manual: Rotate the focus wheel to achieve smooth and precise manual focus. The wheel features a fluid damping system for optimal tactile feedback.
  2. Using A/B Stops: The focus wheel includes adjustable A/B hard stops. To set a focal range, position the lens at your desired 'A' focus point and engage the 'A' stopper. Then, move the lens to your desired 'B' focus point and engage the 'B' stopper. This allows for repeatable and precise focus pulls between two points.
  3. Disengaging A/B Stops: To achieve 360° infinite focus adjustment, loosen the A/B stoppers. You can store them in the designated stopper holes to prevent loss.
