Strange issue with Preston and Zoom.
Hey guys, so I’m working on a show and we have a 150-600 zoom. Every once in a while when racking focus the zoom will also engage and go full tight without the operator’s involvement. We are using the digital microforce with the analog cable (so Preston motor for zoom). Anyone ever have any experience with this? Camera is Sony Venice.

Light Ranger vs glass/plexi
Hello everyone, I’m working on a hockey show and frequently shooting through plexiglass. I’m using a 1st gen Light Ranger2 sensor, all firmware is up to date. Tried limiting the range, playing with defog, but nothing really works consistant’y. Not really surprised to have trouble but wondering if anyone has a solution? Thanks!
Also FPAW is flooded with spam in the last days what’s going on??

Adding black tape to make a mini matte across the round section of the LR2 so it's a narrow strip can help get rid of odd readings.
Also remember it's an IR laser so there may be more scattering through the plexi than you'd expect. Could well be big foggy or dirty patches in the IR spectrum.
Blank ring selection on HU4 menu?
Hi all.,
1) Do you know if there is a trick to NOT have to select a Lens Ring on the HU4?
I'm always forced into having one set (which has never been an issue) except for this job I really don't want it as the lens is metric, my mapping is metric and my rings are imperial
But can't figure out if there is a way to not have one enabled?
For now, I am forced into creating limits on the focus scale on the HU4 to get the correct range (which none of the rings offer even in imperial)
2) And is there a way to switch between metric and imperial on the display regardless of the unit chosen during lens mapping?

Could be a few things. Firstly the focus motor or focus gearing may be interfering with the zoom gear / motor and driving it through friction. Sometimes if the focus motor is pressed down onto the lens quite hard that can cause excess friction internally.
Second, the microforce could have a slight drift on the knob. Press set and reset on the DMF at the same time for three seconds. usually resolves drift
Third could be faulty board or cable on the DMF
