Adjusting The Minimum Start Speed Of The Pan/Tilt Head; Adjusting The Backlash Compensation - Panasonic AW-RP655N Operating Instructions Manual

Operation
$ Adjusting the minimum start
speed of the pan/tilt head
When the pan/tilt head is to be operated manually using the
joystick, its minimum start speed is automatically adjusted to
ensure that the pan/tilt head will start moving smoothly in
response to the angle to which the pan/tilt lever is tilted.
(This will reduce the amount of play in the pan/tilt lever.)
1. Press the MENU button, and turn the menu setting
control (main) to display the P/T SETTING item on the
top line of the LCD panel.

$ Adjusting the backlash compensation

Play in the gears may give rise to backlash when the pan/tilt
head is moved. This adjustment serves to provide
compensation for reducing the amount of this backlash.
(Backlash: For instance, after the pan/tilt head has moved
from right to left and then come to a standstill, there is a
delay in the start of the movement when it moves in the
opposite direction. This happens because of play in the
gears. The same phenomenon also occurs when the head
moves from left to right, up to down or down to up.)
1. Press the MENU button, and turn the menu setting
control (main) to display the P/T SETTING item on the
top line of the LCD panel.

C
(amount of compensation

D
(amount of compensation
for tilting)
Use the OFF setting if backlash is not a concern. When
making an adjustment, be absolutely sure to move the
pan/tilt head, and perform actual operations to check
whether the compensation amount is appropriate before
deciding on the proper amount. If this amount is
excessive, the pan/tilt head will start returning in the
opposite direction as soon as it has been made to come
to a standstill.
