Focus Bug Real-time Focus Tracking Mode

Auto-focus used to be scorned upon by professionals until very recently. As well as doing the job of a Cine Tape extremely well, the new Focus Bug Cine RT system also includes two miniature focus point transmitters which are carried by actors permitting real-time focus tracking as well.

The miniature Bug transmits continuous focus tracking information and can be used by actors/stand-ins as well as assistants to provide enhanced, real-time focus marks.
