Function 1. Shuttle-Shot
●
By simply pressing the Shtl button, you can zoom to a shuttle memory position (preset zoom position)
at the maximum speed. When the Shtl button is released, the zoom returns to the original position. In other
words, this allows the zoom to shuttle between two zoom positions (shuttle memory and original positions)
at the maximum speed.
1. How to store the shuttle memory position
Step 1. Zoom to any desired zoom position, such
as telephoto-end.
Step 2. Press the Shtl button while holding down
the memo button.
(Steps 1 and 2 above complete the storing
of the shuttle memory position.)
*(NOTE): This shuttle memory position is different
from the framing preset memory posi-
tion (Refer to function 2).
The stored zoom position remains in the
memory, even after the power is turned
off.
2. How to use the shuttle-shot
When holding down the Shtl button, the zoom moves toward the shuttle memory position at the maxi-
mum speed, and stops at the shuttle memory position (preset zoom position).
As long as the Shtl button is held down, the zoom stays at the shuttle memory position.
When the Shtl button is released, the zoom returns automatically to the original position at the maxi-
mum speed, or alternatively zoom operation with the zoom rocker seesaw can be performed immedi-
ately.
*(NOTE): Since priority is given to zoom operation with the Shtl button, zoom operation with the
zoom rocker seesaw cannot be performed while the Shtl button is held down.
3. How to return to the original position
The original position is not changed as long as zoom
operation is only performed using the Shtl button.
The zoom position obtained by manual operation
or any servo zoom operations other than using the
Shtl button, will automatically become the new origi-
nal position for the next shuttle-shot operation.
*(NOTE): Since operation with the Shtl button is given
priority, operation cannot be performed with
the zoom rocker seesaw while the Shtl but-
ton is held down.
4. Updating the original position
• The original position (original position: see section 3 above) for the next shuttle-shot operation is the posi-
tion where the lens was last stopped using the manual or servo zoom operations.
• The original position is not updated when the zoom operation is performed using the Shtl button only.
