Focus Response
Use Focus Response to select how turning the Focus Ring changes focus distance. Non-Linear response uses the speed that the ring is turned to determine the distance the focus moves. Linear responses (30˚-720˚) express how many degrees of rotation are required to move the focus distance from the minimum to the maximum, and does not rely on speed.
The Focus Response settings include Non Linear (default), 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, 120°, 150°, 180°, 210°, 240°, 270°, 330°, 360°, 540°, and 720°.
Focus Direction Reverse
Use Focus Direction Reverse to enable or disable reversing the Z Mount focus ring direction.
Focus Direction Reverse is enabled by default to allow the Z Mount lens to rotate in the standard cinema direction on initial attachment.
Control Ring Mode
Use Control Ring Mode to select the feature you want to adjust using the Z Mount lens control ring.
Only lenses which do not have a dedicated Manual Focus ring can have their Control Ring set to Manual Focus.
For lenses that have both a Manual Focus ring and Control Ring, the Control Ring setting defaults to Iris.
The modes you can select include None, Manual Focus, Iris, Shutter, ISO, White Balance, FN UP/DOWN, LCDs Magnify, SDI Magnify, LCDs + SDI Magnify, False Color Cycle, Peaking Cycle, and Tools Cycle.
Control Ring Response
Use Control Ring Response to select the response speed used when the Control Ring is turned.
The response speeds you can select include Slow, Normal (default), and Fast.

Swap Focus and Control Rings
Use Swap Focus and Control Ring to swap the Focus Ring with the Control Ring on a two ring Z Mount lens.
Zoom Ring Response
Use Zoom Ring Response to select how turning the Zoom Ring changes the zoom. Base Angle response is the default rotation response based on the lens’ range. Linear responses (30˚-720˚) express how many degrees of rotation are required to move the focus distance from the minimum to the maximum, and does not rely on speed.
The Zoom Ring response settings you can select include Base Angle (default), 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, 120°, 150°, 180°, 210°, 240°, 270°, 330°, 360°, 540°, and 720°.
