Prism Custom Iray Camera question

Does anyone know how to use the Prism Custom Iray Camera? I can't find the instructions on how to use it.

http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/23016/start doesn't look like there is much too it and doesn't come with instructions. Sorry I don't have it so I cannot help further.

Load the preset - from Camera presets>Prism Custom Iray Camera - and look through the Framing Camera to set up your scene/viewpoint (this is an extra camera slightly in front of the main Render Camera, so that the lens prop doesn't obscure the preview). Adjust the lens settings (on the Prism Lens prop, parented to the Render Camera, as far as I can tell). Look through the Render Camera and render. It gives coloured fringes. I'm waiting for my render to finish, but if you want to save settings (at least position and lens shape) I think a Hierarchical Pose preset would work - camera settings might require the use of a Scene Subset.

Edit: well, while that does work I am not seeing the "Lenz" parameters in the product images in either node or surface parameters. There are focus controls (translate the camera up/down and left/right which will move the focussed area) and Scale controls (that adjust the overall size and thickness of the lens which will affect the size of the focussed area and the degree of fringing) - those, by simple optics, control the effect but I'm guessing the Lenz sliders should control them by ERC links and they aren't there.

No sign of the Lenz controls in the .duf or .dsf files either, I will ask what is going on here.
