Tips and trouble setting
6. Max aperture mode & Vibration mode
Dial < >to move the focus. Turn left to move the focus faraway and right for closer. The more you move
the focus shifter, the faster the focus change will be.
* The grip will blink as follows:
1. Please charge the Aputure DEC Vari-ND within 3 minutes after the low battery icon appeared in case of
unstable work.
2. Please charge for the grip before using it again if it was powered o because of low battery.
3. The aperture value of some lenses might not be displayed correctly.
4. Numerous focus pulling may change the memory of stop A and B.
5. Suggest to use the Canon EF L lens or Canon STM lens. Other lenses especially made by the third party may
cause the incoherent movement when being controlled by the DEC Vari-ND.
6. If the lens is taken from a cold environment into a warm one, condensation may develop on the lens surface
and internal parts. To prevent condensation in this case, rst put the lens into an airtight plastic bag before
taking it from a cold to warm environment. Then take out the lens after it has warmed gradually. Do the same
when taking the lens from a warm environment into a cold one.

2) First press <START/STOP> of the Grip,then simultaneously Press<ON/OFF> of the Grip. The Grip will display
"Pairing..."
3) Pull <ON/OFF> of the adapter to <ON>.The OLEDs both display "Pair_OK". This means pairing is nished
8. If you use manual-focus lens to DEC Vari-ND, you cannot adjust focus remotely.
9. Firmware of adapter is constantly under development, which means Aputure may release latest rmware on
