SAVE A LENS PROFILE

If you have made lens profile modifications but did not save changes at the time, follow these steps to save

your changes.
1. In the W.M.D. main menu, select Profiles.
2. Select Save.

VIEW LENS METADATA

Metadata format is dependent on your lens profile setting:



Lens profile is selected (Select > Profiles): Focus, Iris, and Zoom data extrapolated from the motor encoder

positions displays for each lens function (Focus, Iris, Zoom).



Lens profile NOT selected: Hexadecimal motor position data displays for each lens function (Focus, Iris,

Zoom).

Once a lens profile is selected, you can view lens metadata on the W.M.D. screen.
1. In the W.M.D. main menu, select Metadata.
NOTE: If a lens does not support a particular lens function (Example: prime lenses do not have zoom) or a motor

is not connected, the resulting value is displayed as a hexadecimal value.

Use the export function to save modified profiles to the microSD card for repeat use and sharing.
