VZ-ROCK OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
***PLEASE READ BEFORE USING***
Thanks for purchasing our new deluxe variable-rocker LANC control, the VZ-ROCK. Before you
begin using your controller, here are a few important guidelines to follow
:
-DO NOT PLUG THE UNIT INTO ANY PANASONIC CAMERA OR DAMAGE MAY RESULT!!!
-NEVER EXPOSE THE UNIT TO WATER OR LIQUIDS, AND NEVER EXPOSE IT TO
EXCESSIVE HEAT, PRESSURE OR SHOCK – DOING SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE NOT
COVERED BY THE FACTORY WARRANTY (2 YEARS)
-DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE UNIT. DOING SO MAY VOID YOUR FACTORY
WARRANTY.
-DO NOT SUBJECT THE VARIABLE ZOOM ROCKER OR THE LANC CABLE TO
UNNECESSARY STRESS. ABUSE OF THE ZOOM ROCKER OR LANC CABLE MAY
RESULT IN DAMAGE NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY!
Your VZ-ROCK controller is equipped with the following features: pressure-sensitive variable
speed zoom control; manual focus control; record start/stop; power ON/OFF; LED
indicator; edit search; data on/off; autofocus on/off.
HOW TO USE THE VZ-ROCK
1. Plug the controller into the LANC jack (“Control-L”) on your
camcorder (usually a blue jack). DO NOT PLUG THE
CONTROLLER INTO ANY OTHER JACK OR DAMAGE MAY
RESULT!!! DO NOT PLUG IT INTO ANY PANASONIC
CAMERA!!! If you are not sure about the location of the LANC
jack, consult the camcorder owner’s manual.
2. You can attach the controller to your tripod handle, monopod,
shoulder support, or stabilizer with the adjustable clamp (do not
overtighten). The controller doesn’t require any external power or
setup. Once connected, the VZ-ROCK is ready
to perform.
3. The rocker switch at the bottom is for zooming.
Since it is a variable rocker, the farther you
press it right the faster it will zoom in
(telephoto), and the farther you press it left the
faster it will zoom out (wide). You should
practice a bit before shooting so that you
acquire a good sense of the rocker’s characteristics. (continued)
