Focus / Zoom Demand Supported Lenses

PostSun Jul 17, 2022 9:07 am

Hi All,

I would like to know if the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-140mm f3.5-5.6 ASPH Power OIS lens for use with my studio camera 4k works with Zoom and Focus Demand.

Thanks

Um, why would it work? There's no built in zoom control in the lens so no, the camera can't zoom in and out the lens unless there's a built in controller in the lens. It would need to have Power Zoom built into the lens for the camera to be able to zoom in and out the lens. The camera talks to the lens and powers the lens to control the motor in the lens to adjust the zoom... no motor in the lens, no way for the camera to talk to the lens.
