Connecting with the camera

MIN.

MAX.

Note!

In order to avoid accidental short circuiting the camera LANC

connector, NEVER disconnect the cable from the controller.

1. Switch the camera off

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the camera LANC plug

3. Switch the camera – now you may start using the controller

After switching the camera on, the 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 slowly means problem with LANC

communication.

In either case check the 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 permanent 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

NOTE: Not all function may be available depending on camera working mode e.g. if using Sony camera Memory mode the “Record start/stop” functions

are not working.

Selecting zoom speed limit

Press one of the zoom speed buttons. The zoom mode LED should light below or above the button indicating current zoom speed limit.

Selecting zoom mode

To chose between the progressive and fixed zoom modes, press the zoom speed button – each time you press the button, zoom mode will change from

progressive to fixed and vice versa. The LED will indicate current mode.

Customizing zoom speed buttons

Rotate the zoom wheel and zoom with any speed you prefer. Press the zoom speed limiting button, you want to re-program. While zooming, keep it

pressed for approx. 1 sec, until the LED indicator will light off. The new speed limit will be saved in microcontroller internal flash memory and restored

after each power off.

You may always reset the zoom speed to predefined factory setup (see. Resetting zoom speed buttons).

Custom speed reprogramming may be done practically unlimited number of times (min. 1.000.000,- times).

Resetting zoom speed buttons

Each of three zoom speed buttons, is factory pre-set to following LANC zoom speeds:

• No. 1 zoom speed button – speed no. 1 (slowest available LANC speed)

• No. 2 zoom speed button – speed no. 3

• No. 3 zoom speed button – speed no. 8 (fastest available LANC speed)

You may reset each zoom speed button to factory pre-set: stop zooming (release the zoom knob) and press one of the zoom speed limiting buttons.

Keep it pressed for approx. 1 sec, until the LED indicator will light off. The factory pre-set speed limit will be restored.

Progressive mode 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. Zoom speed

is limited to the pre-set speed indicated by LED.

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.

Zoom speed is limited to the pre-set speed indicated by LED.

Fixed mode zoom

Rotate the knob right (or left, dependent on the zoom direction) to zoom tele. Zoom speed is always constant, limited to the pre-set speed indicated by LED.

Rotate the knob left (or right, dependent on the zoom direction) to zoom wide. Zoom speed is always constant, limited to the pre-set speed indicated by LED.

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 controller's internal flash memory and restored after each power off.

Standby mode

Press the button once to switch camera into standby mode.

While camera in standby mode press the button again to switch camera back into normal operation mode.

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

Focus close

Keep the button pressed to adjust the focus for close objects.

Works only if camera in manual focus mode.

Focus far

Keep the button pressed to adjust the focus for far objects. Works only if camera in manual focus mode.

Record start/stop

Press the button once to start recording.

Press the button again to stop recording.

The LED indicator will blink when that the camera is recording.

Zoom direction reprogramming may be done practically unlimited number of times (min. 100.000, times).

Push Auto Focus

Press the button to put the camera temporarily into Auto Focus mode.

As soon as you release the button the camera returns into manual focus mode.

This button has no effect, if camera is already working in Auto Focus mode.

PRECAUTIONS

Water resistivity

We put a lot of attention on making the LANC 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 95% 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.

Electrical precaution

The cable is always one of the most easy breakable element of any electronic system, especially when as exposed to mechanical wear off.

Therefore to extend the life of your controller and make the basic “repair” as cheap as possible we decided to allow easy cable exchange.

However, to avoid accidental short circuiting the camera LANC connection, you must remember to always plug the cable to the controller first.

We advise you to not to remove the cable from the controller, if it is not necessary.

Nota: la leva di comando è telescopica, regolabile con ghiera di bloccaggio.

Collegamento alla videocamera

MIN.

MAX.

Nota importante! Per prevenire il cortocircuito accidentale del

connettore LANC sulla videocamera, non scollegare MAI il

cavo dal lato del controllo remoto.

1. Spegnere la videocamera

2. Collegare l’altro capo del cavo alla presa LANC della

videocamera

Il controllo è progettato per funzionare esclusivamente con videocamere

che dispongano del connettore stereo LANC da 2,5 mm.

Non collegare mai il controllo a qualunque altro connettore simile che

non sia contrassegnato dal logo LANC , perché si potrebbe

danneggiare in maniera permanente il controllo e/o la videocamera!

Il controllo è progettato come sistema autonomo di controllo per

videocamere e non consente il funzionamento simultaneo con altri

dispositivi di controllo.

3. Accendere la videocamera: ora potete iniziare ad usare il controllo

Viene impostata la modalità della velocità di zoomata utilizzata la volta

precedente; l’impostazione corrente viene visualizzata da uno dei LED

dello zoom. Il LED della massima velocità di zoomata “Progressiva”

dovrebbe accendersi, per indicare che è selezionata la modalità di

velocità progressiva e la massima velocità dello zoom è limitata dalla

velocità preimpostata numero 3.

La mancata accensione del LED indica problemi con l’alimentazione del

controllo. Il lento lampeggio del LED indica problemi di comunicazione

LANC. In entrambi i casi controllare le connessioni via cavo tra

videocamera e controllo.

Il controllo è progettato per funzionare esclusivamente con videocamere

che dispongano del connettore stereo LANC da 2,5 mm. Non collegare

mai il controllo a qualunque altro connettore simile che non sia

contrassegnato dal logo LANC, perché si potrebbe danneggiare in

maniera permanente il controllo e/o la videocamera!

Il controllo è progettato come sistema autonomo di controllo per

videocamere e non consente il funzionamento simultaneo con altri

dispositivi di controllo.
