Not sure if it’s still available but Ursa broadcast used to have set A-C points for a focus pull with AF-S. The AF-S on Pyxis with L mount lenses & adapted ef lenses is great & really snappy although only in the centre…or so I thought! My Pyxis glitched & I could move the AF-S box to the middle or two corners.
This proved the box can be placed so essentially with minor firmware update you could set the box on the end focus pull position, set the focus on a subject then with the AF-S button, pull focus quite effectively!

Requesting to reinstate the A-C rack focus positions in all capable cameras starting with a touch screen moveable focus box please.

It’s a simple user interface update to get this started & tested.

I second this!

Those options would be great!

Please update the auto focus on Pyxis ASAP. I am strongly considering buying one of these cameras, and I do enough run and gun filming to need more functional auto focus. There wont always be an AC available to pull focus manually. At the price point you are selling this camera, it seems logical that you would know solo shooters would be interested. We need a bit more function to make this work. I have a bunch of L-mount lenses for my Panasonic S52x, and I am considering updating that with a BM Video Assist so everything shoots Braw. If you update the Pyxis auto focus, you make all these decisions much easier.

Would be awesome to have it. May be even as expansion to the camera itself like the DJI Focus Pro. But integrated would be optimal.
