5.1.2 WRC mode

In this mode the WRC-1 offers convenient and quick access
to camera functions and additional programming options.

• Set the sliding switch on the camera from NORM to

PS/CCU

The display of the WRC-1 flashes with the warning
‘not PSCCU’ until the camera’s sliding switch is set to
PS/CCU.

• Set the WRC/CAM sliding switch to WRC

• The IRIS sliding switch governs whether the WRC-1

activates its control over the iris motor (IRIS ‘ON’), or
whether a connected iris motor is controlled by
another unit (IRIS ‘OFF’). This must be set before
switching on the WRC-1.

If the iris control is not activated (IRIS sliding switch
‘OFF’), the OPEN button serves as the PHASE button on
the camera

Forward or reverse run is set in CAM mode and in the
same way as on the camera itself.
