Canon Mount Focus Reset

[Julio Quintana]

I hate to put this in the Complaint section, but it is inconvenient that the DSMC Canon mount resets the lens focus when the camera reboots, especially after setting focus marks. Is there any way the focus can stay in place after reboot?

Yeah, i really wish there was a way to keep it from doing this.

[Jeff Barklage]

And I thought it was only my camera that did this...
Yes, this is nuts as the marks you set for focus get completely thrown off....
Any workaround for this?
Red??

I suggest electronic follow focus that uses the lens motors. This way your marks will be good for ever

Brilliant! Why has this not been invented yet? (sarcastic)

[Jacek Zakowicz]

Oh it's invented. And functioning as it should. Come and see it at the Cine Gear this weekend...

That sounds cool, and I'm definitely curious, but for now I'll take a firmware update that makes my $2000 Canon mount function as well as a $1200 Canon 7D.
