   * If ''Step Wait'' is not active, ML will only wait a for fixed delay before sending next focus command. This will reduce stutter, but may affect rack focus accuracy. This setting is recommended if you only use follow focus.   * If ''Step Wait'' is not active, ML will only wait a for fixed delay before sending next focus command.

   * If ''Step Wait'' is active, ML will wait until each focus command is completed, and then it will wait for a fixed delay, as configured here. This will increase rack focus accuracy, but may cause stutter with certain lenses.   * If ''Step Wait'' is active, ML will wait until each focus command is completed, and then it will wait for a fixed delay, as configured here.
