FAQs

What lenses are compatible with the Blackmagic Zoom Demand?

The Zoom Demand is compatible with Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lenses that feature power zoom capabilities. Not all MFT lenses have this feature.

Can I use the Zoom Demand with cameras other than Blackmagic Studio Cameras?

No, the Zoom Demand is specifically designed and compatible only with Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro and 4K Plus models.

How do I connect the Zoom Demand and a Focus Demand together?

Connect the Focus Demand to the Zoom Demand using one of its USB-C ports. Then, connect the Zoom Demand to the Blackmagic Studio Camera using its primary USB-C port.

Can the buttons on the Zoom Demand be customized?

Yes, the additional buttons on the Zoom Demand can be assigned to various camera functions through the Blackmagic Studio Camera's settings menu.

Does the Zoom Demand require external power?

No, the Zoom Demand is powered directly through the USB-C connection from the Blackmagic Studio Camera.

Will this work with non-power zoom MFT lenses?

No, the Zoom Demand relies on the power zoom function of the lens to operate. It will not control manual zoom lenses.

Troubleshooting

Zoom Demand not responding

Verify the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the Zoom Demand and the camera. Ensure the camera is powered on. Check that the connected MFT lens supports power zoom. Try a different USB-C cable or port if available.

Zoom is jerky or inconsistent

Clean the zoom wheel and surrounding areas for any debris. Ensure the MFT lens is functioning correctly with its power zoom feature. Check for firmware updates for your Blackmagic Studio Camera.

Customizable buttons are not working

Access the camera's settings menu to re-assign the desired functions to the buttons on the Zoom Demand. Ensure the correct camera model is selected in the settings.

Daisy-chained Focus Demand is not recognized

Ensure the USB-C cable between the Zoom Demand and Focus Demand is securely connected. Check that both units are powered by the camera. Try connecting the Focus Demand directly to the camera first to rule out issues with the demand unit itself.
