Frequently Asked Questions - HJ18ex2.8B IASE A CANON

How do I adjust the back focus of the Canon HJ18ex2.8B IASE A lens?
Set the extender lever to 1x, open the iris fully, zoom to telephoto, focus on a distant object, then zoom to wide angle. Loosen the flange back lock screw and turn the flange back adjusting ring to bring the object into focus. Repeat until focus holds throughout the zoom range. Tighten the screw.
How do I use the macro function on this lens?
Press the macro button to unlock the macro ring. Turn the macro ring clockwise (from camera side) while holding the button. Set the lens to the widest angle via zoom, then focus using the macro ring. The minimum object distance becomes 10 mm at wide angle.
How do I assign functions to the VTR, RET, and AUX switches?
Turn on the display with the DISPLAY switch. Use the control key to select the switch name (e.g., VTR). Press the Set key, then use left/right keys to choose the desired function (e.g., Fr1P, Shtl, Sped). Press Set again to confirm.

This enables the movement speed (focus speed, zoom speed) to a predetermined focus and picture angle to be reproduced easily.

Preset Frame1: Zoom Frame2: Zoom ZSpeed: 800

The framing preset setting is changed on the Preset screen on the information display. The "Frame1" setting is changed to "Zoom", "Focus", or "Z+F".

Up to two framing presets, Frame1 and Frame2, can be stored in the memory. Only Frame1 is described in the description given on the following pages. Frame1 is indicated asFr1P".

How to set the zoom speed to the framing memory position

Movement speed to the framing position is selected by assigning the "Fr1P" or "Fr1F" switch.

"Fr1P"----For the preset speed setting (preset speed) (Assigned to the AUX switch at the factory.)

"Fr1F"----For the maximum speed setting (fast speed)

For details on how to assign the switches, refer to 5-6. SWITCH OPERATIONS.

Framing Preset [Zoom]/[Focus]/[Z+F] Setting

The following figure below is shown as an example. Actual state of the switch may look different if the function is allocated to the different switch.

1) Fr1P function----Assigned to the AUX switch by factory default.

1. Setting the framing memory position

Zoom Rocker Seesaw "MEMO" Switch "Fr1P" Switch

Zoom (and focus) to the position that you want to store, while holding this zoom (and zoom focus) position, press the "Fr1P" switchwhile holding down the MEMO switch.

This framing memory position is different from the shuttle memory position (Refer to "5-1-5. Shuttle-Shot Function"). The stored zoom position remains in the memory, even after the power is turned off.

2. Moving to the framing memory position

Once the "Fr1P" switch is pressed, the zoom starts to move toward the framing memory position at the preset speed and stops at the framing memory position. When the zoom reaches to the framing memory position, it stops and stays there.

3. Canceling the movement to the framing memory position or switching to other zoom operation

During movement to the framing memory position, the movement can be canceled and/or switched to other zoom operation by any of the following operations.

[Zoom Framing Preset]

  • Press the "Fr1P" switch again.
  • Perform zoom operation with the zoom rocker see-saw.
  • Per rf or m zo om o per a ti on w it h th “Sh tl” switch.

- Operate a connected focus demand. Movement to the memory position stops, and movement to the operating position of the focus demand takes place.

5-1-8 Clutchless Zoom '(-C S"LENS only)

The "-C S" lens clutchless incorporates a clutchless zoom mechanism.

Owing to the clutchless zoom mechanism, you are no longer required to operate the clutch when switching between the servo zoom and manual zoom. This mechanism allows you to use a slow steady servo zoom technique in the MANUAL mode.

The lens with built-in extender has the built-in 2x extender.

Use the extender lever to switch between 1x and 2x.

When the extender is used, note that the light quantity may decrease by the zoom ratio depending on the iris correction setting.

5-4. IRIS OPERATION

The iris operation mode can be switched between auto and manual with the iris operation mode change-over switch.

5-4-1. Automatic Iris Operation

Iris Operation Mode Change-over Switch

Slide the iris operation mode change-over switch to the "A" position. The iris operation is performed automatically by the instruction from the camera, to keep the video signal level constant.

5-4-2. Manual Iris Operation

Close Open Canon Iris ring

Slide the iris operation mode change-over switch to the "M" position. The iris operation is performed by turning the iris ring on the lens body.

NOTE

The iris operation mode change-over switch must be set to the M position before performing manual iris operations. The lens may be damaged if manual iris operations are forcibly performed with the knob at the A position.

Instant Auto-Iris Switch A.M T N

When the instant auto-iris switch is pressed during manual iris operation mode, the iris changes to automatic operation mode while the switch is held down.

This adjustment can be performed on the information display. Refer to the Information Display Manual.

In macro shooting, the object distance becomes shorter than the normal minimum object distance (M.O.D.). The minimum object distance by macro operation for this lens is 10mm at the widest angle.

Macro Button Canon Macro Ring

To operate the macro, press the macro button to unlock the macro ring. While holding it down, turn the macro ring at the rear of the lens clockwise as viewed from the camera side to allow macro shooting.

1 Set the lens to the widest angle by manual or servo zoom operation.

2 Bring the object into focus by turning the macro ring.

Macro operation is also possible at any zoom position other than the widest angle, but the object distance increases.

Multi-point Focus Shooting

In macro shooting, when zooming to change the focal length, the focal point varies.

The multi-point focus shooting technique uses this characteristic. The focal point is shifted by the zoom operation. Follow the steps bellow :

1 Zoom in to a far object, and bring it into focus by normal focus operation.
2 Zoom out to a near object and bring into focus by macro operation.
3 Zoom in to the far object again while not touching the macro button set by above step 2, and bring into focus again by normal focus operation.

5-6. SWITCH OPERATIONS

Functions can be assigned to the five switches: the VTR, RET, AUX switches, or AUX1 and AUX2 switches on the information display. "VTR", "RET", "Shtl", and "Fr1P" functions are assigned respectively by default.

The following steps explain how to assign the functions to the switches in basic mode. For further details, refer to the Information Display Operation Manual.

MENU A Fr1P A1 Shtl [I-Tq]H IG:50 [Trk] OFF A2 Fr1P [Z.M.]

1 Press the DISPLAY switch to turn on the display.
