Digital Microforce

The Digital Micro Force 3's all-new design features automatic self-calibration upon powerup, which eliminates motor creep and always ensures smooth, repeatable operation. When used with a Y-Cable, the soft stop function allows the user to automatically slow the zoom to a programmed distance from its end of travel. This is especially useful when does a fast “snap” zoom, or when the user must both operate the camera and control the zoom at the same time. Zoom speed and position are indicated with bright red LED numeric and bar graph displays.

The DMF3 can directly drive digital motors through a Y-cable or the Analog port of an MDR-3 or MDR-4. It can also drive the internal servos of Canon & Fujinon ENG style lenses through a straight cable.
