Auto Focus Micro Adjustments and Auto Focus Checks:
What does this mean? – I check your body for proper AF operation with each of your lenses. Using a special focus calibration target and years of experience, I see exactly where your lens is focusing, and align the point of focus to the intended plane. Then save that information in your camera’s memory. This ensures that when your camera locks focus, it’s actually focusing on the thing that you wanted to be in focus. It’s a tedious process and it has to be repeated with each lens on each body at multiple distances. If necessary, I tailor the focus to your specific needs.
How Long:
- We can normally get your gear ready for pickup in 7 days or less.
- We can usually work something out for faster or slower times as well. As a photographer, I know how it is. Just let me know of any special needs that you may have.
“On The Spot” Same Day Cleanings:
- We have several openings for same-day services. If you’re out of town and need your gear cleaned and/or AF Calibrated, we can do it.
- You can drive in at the time of your appointment, drop off your equipment, go eat-shop-work on editing-etc around town, then come pick up your equipment when it’s ready.
- Time will depend on how much gear you bring me and what services you need. Time averages between 1 – 2hours per body/set. There is no “standard time” for service, it varies a bit from case to case. I can give you an estimate once you tell me about your gear.
- Your appointment has to be set up in advance.
- There is an extra fee of $50 per person for this service. If you bring us 4 bodies and 12 lenses, or 1 body and 1 lens, the extra fee is $50 per appointment, per person.
What to bring for both Cleanings and AF Calibrations:
- Camera body(s)
- Memory Card
- Lens’
- Body and Lens Caps
- A camera bag is optional
- Fully charged battery and/or your battery charger
- NOTE: Your camera will not let me open up the sensor unless the battery is more than 75% charged. I can’t clean the sensor with a dead battery. Please bring a charger if possible.
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera and Sony Video Camera Services:
- Complete Equipment Rig Cleanings
- Sensor Only Cleanings
- Clean and / or Replace IR cut filter
Is your Blackmagic Pocket 4K Cinema camera IR Cut Filter dirty? It may not only be dirty, it may be bad. These filters have a nasty problem with “corrosion”. It looks like the glass has “crystals” growing on them. It actually appears that the glass is starting to delaminate. We have a solution for you. We can replace the original equipment IR Cut Filter with a new higher quality glass. Shoot me a text or email to find out more details.
