Operation - Manfrotto 521 Instruction Manual

After switching the camera on, the LANC controller LED indicator
should light continuously. The last used zoom speed mode will be
set – the current setup will be indicated by one of zoom speed
LEDs. LED indicator not lighting at all means problem with power
supply of the controller. LED indicator blinking every two seconds
means problem with LANC communication. In either case check
the LANC cable connections to camera and controller. Controller is
designed to work only with video cameras having the 2.5 mm
stereo LANC jack. Never connect controller to any other jack,
which does not have the LANC logo. It may even result in perma-
nent controller and/or camera damage! Controller is designed as a
standalone control system for video cameras - it is not designed to
work simultaneously with other LANC control systems.
OPERATION - model 521
Progressive zoom
Rotate the knob right (or left, dependent on the zoom direction) to
zoom tele. The more angle the knob is rotated the faster zoom
speed is. Rotate the knob left (or right, dependent on the zoom
direction) to zoom wide. The more angle the knob is rotated the
faster zoom speed is.
Customizing zoom direction
To change the zoom direction keep pressed simultaneously "focus
far" and "focus close" buttons until the LED indicator will light off.
The buttons must be kept pressed for at least 3 seconds. The new
zoom direction information will be permanently stored in the con-
troller's internal flash memory and restored after each power off.

Pressing this button while camera is switched off will
have no effect on camera operation.
