OPERATION

Knob functionality

The knob allows controlling zoom rotating it right or left.
The more angle the knob is rotated the faster zoom speed is.

Selecting zoom speed limit

Turn zoom speed limit clockwise to set higher zoom speed limit. Turn it in opposite direction to set lower speed limit.

Variable mode zoom

Rotate the zoom knob right or left to zoom tele or wide (depending on the zoom direction set-up).
The more angle the knob is rotated the faster zoom speed is. Zoom speed is limited by the "zoom speed limit".

Maximal speed mode zoom

Press one of "fast zoom" buttons to zoom wide or tele (depending on zoom direction switch position) with maximal zoom speed. Maximal speed zoom overrides "zoom speed limit" setup.

Record start/stop

Press the button once to start recording.
Press the button again to stop recording.

RET function

Press the button to execute RET function.

Customizing zoom direction

To change the zoom direction, move zoom direction switch, found on the right side of the controller body, to opposite position.

PRECAUTIONS

Water Resistance

We put a lot of attention on making the controller to be as much water resistant as possible, while maintaining its reasonable price.
However we cannot guarantee 100% water resistance under all circumstances and you should avoid using the controller under heavy environment conditions like rain and over 70% humidity level.

High temperature

Avoid temperatures exceeding +70°C – especially do not leave the controller exposed for direct contact with heavy sun shines, e.g. in the car parked in sunny place.
