FAQ

What exactly is modified on this lens compared to the standard model? 

If you have the 18-80mm EF Mount with 20-pin port lens, it will require modification to the 5-pin port instead to work with ARFX Lens, we are currently working on getting support from Canon to either modify or replace existing existing 20-pin lenses.The5-pin serial port on the lens allows both sending and receiving of the lens data instead of just one-way communication.The 18-80mm EF-Mount with 5-pin port can also be separately purchased from our store (coming soon).

If the autofocus of the lens is on, will the focusing data be output to the PC? 

Any focus or zoomchangesonthe physical lens will be replicated in the virtual lens without exception. The data is read internally from the lens mechanics and internal lens metadata, not through an external sensor, achieving a true “plug and play” lens emulation solution with zero calibration time. Just load the plugin on your scene, connect, and shoot.

My choice of tracking system is not listed, is ARFX still compatible? 

ARFX Lens supports all tracking systems supported by the ARFX Pro Plugin, which as of writing includes Vive Pro, Vive Mars, stYpe, Mo-Sys, and NoitomVPS. If your choice of tracking system is not currently supported, let us know as we are always looking to add support for more systems. If the tracking hardware already has a LiveLink plugin for Unreal, integration will be simple.
