Hi, I am also having the same issue with my brand new MCC Multi-Cable. Using a supported lens. The focus wheel is solid green light. Record button works, but when I try to pull focus, I get a popup on my A7III (This operation or setting not available as follows > File Format > RAW). I have tried several lenses and none work. All firmware is up to date. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

focus pull is not supported with the multi cable. You need the MCC-C cable

After hours trying to make the 16-35mm 2.8 GM work with the focus wheel, I finally got it solved by turning on AF on the lens and customizing the AEL button to AF/MF Ctrl Toggle. As soon as you toggle between modes it starts working.

You are a truly life savior sir. Finally got full function on this expensive Ronin-a7riii-GM system after months. You deserve my huge respect!

Hi Easy-E. Bit late reply to this but try setting the focus on the lens to AF, and then setting focus in camera to MF. My guess is because the lens needs to be on AF to talk to the camera and by extension the ronin.

I'm glad I can help you guys. I had the same problem if I used video mode on A7III. After I switched to full manual- M mode then focul will work.
In video mode this wheel acts as zoom button.

All the best!

I have one more thing to add. For me, the “Autofocus Speed” setting in the Ronin app was set to 2 (out of 100) which was extremely slow, so it looked like nothing was happening when I turned the wheel. I changed it to 50 and it’s perfect now.

FIXED: Set lens to AF. In camera menu setting (menu1:page5) set focus mode to Manual Focus. Turn off camera. Turn on Ronin, turn on camera. LENS HAS TO BE IN AF, CAMERA HAS TO BE IN MF. NO ONE TELLS YOU THIS.

THIS IS THE SOLVE:

Like the user said before, the camera has to be in AF (AutoFucus) to talk with the lens. SO, make sure the lens is switched to AF. THEN in the menu settings, change the focus to MF (so the switch on the lens is AF, but the camera menu is in MF ... you can set one of the back buttons to do this) then the damn thing will work.
