Connecting The Aq-Ec1 Extension Control Unit (Option) - Panasonic AJ-PD900WP Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting the AQ-EC1 Extension Control Unit (Option)

Connecting the AQ-EC1 extension control unit (option) allows a portion of the camera section
functions to be operated by remote control.
When the AQ-EC1 is connected and the POWER switches of the unit and AQ-EC1 are set to
ON, the unit automatically enters remote control mode.
The handling instructions included with the AQ-EC1 describe operations for when the AQ-EC1 is
connected to an AQ series digital camera.
When the AQ-EC1 is connected to the AJ-PD900W, some functions differ, and some features
cannot be used.
