Focus: soft limit reached

Post by Adalbert »

Hello everyone,
Does anybody know how to solve the following problem?
During the setting of the range of the rack I get the message:
„Focus: soft limit reached“
But the position of the focus of the lens is located in the middle between 0.30m end infinity.
BTW, Magic Lantern 2.3 + CANON EOS 6D + CANON EF 100L macro USM / IS
Thank you in advance.
BR, ADi

Check to see if there's a focus limit switch on the lens itself. If so, make sure that it is set to full range, not limited to either near or far.

Hello Rik,
Many thanks for the hint!
Yes, I have forgotten to set the lens to the full focus range.
