Hi
This is driving me crazy. Have googled, read the menu, and still I cannot get the Rackfocus feature to work
First, can someone confirm that by 'arrow keys' on the markII we are actually referring to the toggle button??


I've turned 'Follow focus 'ON' and set to arrow keys

I dial down to 'Focus End Point', hit the 'set' button.
Now I focus to my desired 'end' point and hit the 'menu' button.

So far, so good.

But how do I then change the focus??

If the toggle button is used as arrow keys, every time I select it I jump out of the menu

I've read elsewhere that something so simple shouldn't require a tutorial, but obviously I am not the only one pulling their hair out

ok partially figured it out.

First AF MUST be enabled on your lens. I know this should be obvious but....

Also, the rotary dial is working as arrow keys for me...
