Focal Distance Display

[Jeff B]

Does the HPX500 have a setting that shows the current focal distance of the lens in the display or viewfinder? The zoom is shown, so I know the lens is sending some data that is displayed on the camera. On my HVX200, the focal distance is shown as mm or feet in the display and viewfinder.

I use these numbers to setup and practice ramping on a rack focus so I can hit A and B marks of the focus when recording.

no. focus is manual and does not show up in camera. i agree it is handy to see this info in the vf. just use the barrel marks or just use the force, luke.

Bummer. I will have to trust the force!
