Make sure that the groove is for a Nikon mount lens before
inserting the rubber pieces.
Do not attach the rubber piece in the concave part.
When attaching the gear to the lens, the interlocking may be too tight (the gear cannot be fixed in the prescribed position) or loose (the
gear slips without interlocking) due to deviation in the lens diameter. Adjust the tightness/looseness by following the procedure described
below.
You can apply the gear sheet in the unused groove in order to fill in the groove.
Always make sure that the gear and the lens work properly after adjustment.
CAUTION
① When too tight
Shorten the length of the rubber pieces inserted into the groove inside the gear. Re-insert the shortened rubber pieces into the groove,
providing ample space between the pieces. Adjust the lengths of the rubber pieces for appropriate tightness.
Do not force the lens into the gear when the interlocking is too tight, because this may result in damage to the lens.
② When too loose
Replace the rubber pieces with the O-ring that is supplied with this product. Cut the O-ring into
pieces approx. 4cm long, and insert 3 of the O-ring pieces into the groove inside the gear, providing
ample space between the pieces. If the interlocking becomes too tight with the O-ring pieces, adjust
the tightness as explained above ①. If the interlocking is still too loose with the O-ring pieces, use
the gear sheet which is included in the package. Cut the sheet into 3 to 6 pieces, and apply them
beside the groove inside the gear.
Make sure that the applied gear sheet comes into contact with the zoom ring on the lens.
The O-ring may not be compatible with some lenses due to size restrictions. In this case, adjust the
looseness by applying the gear sheet without replacing the rubber pieces with the O-ring. If the
interlocking becomes too tight, adjust the lengths of the rubber pieces for appropriate tightness.
