INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Elvid Lynx USB Focus
Controller. The Elvid Lynx gives you remote control
over focus and exposure (including shutter speed,
aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation) for
compatible cameras and lenses.
This handheld battery-powered remote is compact
and easy to use. Through a USB cable, the device is
able to control focus and exposure functions for both
still photography and video. Seven handy buttons
and a center control wheel allow you to make all of
the necessary adjustments on your camera.
You can also turn the Live View display on your
camera on or off remotely with the Lynx, and access
the Lynx's digital zoom function.
The Elvid Lynx allows you to precisely control
focus and exposure while shooting video or stills
without accidentally bumping the camera or causing
vibrations that might detract from the sharpness
of an image, the exactness of your frame or the
smoothness of a video.

GETTING
STARTED
Do not remove the Elvid Lynx controller from its case by
pulling on the wheel; open the case, turn it over with one
hand, and allow the controller to slide into your other hand.
This will reduce wear and tear on the focusing wheel.
The Elvid Lynx works with compatible cameras (see
Compatibility section below). You may use an autofocus
or manual focus lens. However, if you use a manual focus
lens, you won't be able to control focus or use the focus
point functions.
INSTALLING
BATTERIES
1. Open the battery cover by pressing down and sliding the
cover off.
2. Insert two fresh AA batteries in the battery
compartment, being careful to place them in the correct
orientation according to the diagrams inside the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover by inserting the edge of the
battery cover with the tabs into the slots and pressing
down on the opposite edge so that it snaps into place.

DIAGNOSTIC
TEST
A diagnostic mode allows you to test the buttons
on the Lynx. Before you connect it to a camera,
turn the switch from Off to Still or Video. Push
each button briey, and the indicator bulb will blink
green if the button is functioning correctly. Or press
and hold any button and the indicator bulb will turn
red if the button is functioning correctly.
After testing the buttons, connect the Lynx to the
camera by inserting one end of the USB cable into
either one of the USB ports on the Lynx and the
other end into the USB port on the camera.
Note: Only one Lynx USB port works at a time.
