Sony DXC3000 User Manual

The remote electric zoom is relatively a simple device. Aside from controlling zoom action it also contains a video return button. This button,

labeled “VTR” will allow you to see what is on the preview monitor in the control room. With this capability you can COMP (compose) a shot with

switcher setting appearing in your camera viewfinder. This is how to COMP for a box wipe or television graphic like that in a newscast program. You

can also use it to see what the up-coming event is. The video return button does not affect your camera output to the switcher so it wonʼt matter if you 

decide to activate the switch during the program.

 

There are 2 remote video return buttons

 

1. Top of the handle above the zoom rocker switch

 

2. A depression under the rubber housing of the

 

   handle (hidden)

       The zoom action switch changes the rocker zoom

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       from a clockwise zoom-in to a clockwise zoom out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       Normally a clockwise movement of the zoom rocker

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       performs a zoom-in or telephoto action.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       The real purpose of this switch is to accomodate for 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       left-handed operators.
