How do I move the focus ring? Zoom ring works fine, but the focus ring seems stuck.

Hi... The focus ring is the outer ring that the lens cap sits on... Hope that helps.

Probably unhelpful, but as stated by the other responder, I have no problem at all moving my focus ring. There was a piece of yellow foam around the lens mechanism during shipping that needed to be removed, but aside from that, no locking mechanism that I have encountered. Good luck, I think you should get resolution as I have always had good luck with both amazon, and epson products/services.

Oh, sorry I misunderstood. My ring moves very freely. Your projector must be defective.

Remove the existing ring around the lens ( mine is black and easily turns counter clockwise) The adapter then goes in it's place.

You do not use the zoom to focus, you use the focusing ring to focus. Two totally different things. The zoom changes focal length, the focus ring changes focus.By the way, I am a pro photographer since 1965. It will work best with a prime lens. They are sharper than zoom lenses.

Yes, you would just need to put a geared strap on the zoom ring and line up the follow focus cog to zoom instead of focus.

Just tried this, and got this to work. Rotate the lens so that the iris is fully closed. I.e. counter-clockwise until it stops. Under the "p" of "Optic Swap" notice the stop ridge on the under side of the ring. It has come to rest on the retainer spring. Now push the lense in firmly so that the spring is fully depressed. Continue rotating the lens. That stop ridge will now pass over the retaining spring releasing the lens. Hope that description helps. -Brian

I as well have a focus problem, I have to bump the zoom a bit when I first start the camera. Not aware of any solutions and am looking for a warranty fix.

Yes. Zoom and Focus are manual with the inner ring for the later. It s a little bit to freaky not so gradual control. Its endless so no physical connection with lens I guess.

There are no electrical contacts in the ring so you have to adjust the focus and aperture manually.

Twist the lens. It may be that it is indeed too low to get a good focus. If you twist the lens on mine, it comes into focus.

It has two controls for zoom, and you can use either. One is in front of the shutter release, and the other is on the lens. You change to manual focus in the menus. There are no control rings on the lens.

The focusing ring does turn around all the way in both directions. The reason for this is to provide an easy manual focus over-ride. After autofocus, if you want, you can turn the manual focus ring for fine adjustment or for focusing on something else and the design lets you do this quite easily. This is what it is designed to do and it works perfectly and easily...

No, there is no means to fix the lens to a specific focal length. The total length of zoom ring travel is just shy of 90 degrees, end to end. The demarcation on the zoom ring, L to R as seen looking down at it as if it were attached to the body, is 24 - 20 - 18 - 16 - 15 - 14. The only hard control is the Manual/Auto autofocus switch.

Mine doesn't work as a zoom. What you're calling a zoom lever actually adjusts other things like the size of the auto focus or the ISO or brightness. At least on my camera, I use the largest ring on the lens to zoom. Hope that helps.

Yes, if you buy the compatible follow focus rings it can go on either the focus or the zoom. It works on either zoom or focus rings on a lens like the canon 70-200 f2.8ll...

When we first got ours we had the same problem with clarity and had searched all through the menu options with the blurry image trying to find it. The plastic part around the lens is what you use to focus the image. The first time it felt like that wouldn't move but if you keep at it gently it will work and then you won't have any problems moving forward. Once you fix the clarity you can read the menu better to adjust the image size. Good luck.

Turn the little black thing on the end of the lens a little at a time, that will focus. Then u can move the Cera up or down to get it to where u want it to see.

Hello hello Rmauma...! The Little push-button on the side... is working... like the release-button... on your camera... Push it In... and turn the lens... same way... as your normal lenses. If the button... or the adapter is stuck... Perhaps try... to twist the adapter... just a fraction... in both directions... while pressing... on the button. This can give the Little locking pin... enough room... to Work. Now take the lens... with the adapter... one hand on each... close your eyes... and let your hands Work... Hope this will help... Greetings... Jakob.
