M-Series Joystick Control Unit
Tilting the Camera
You can use the puck to tilt the camera up and down by moving the puck forward
and backward. By default, moving the puck forward causes the camera to tilt up.
Moving the puck back causes the camera to tilt down. This is similar to the way
the joystick for video games works.
You can change this so that the puck functions like the joystick used in an aircraft.
In this case, the opposite happens: moving the joystick forward causes the
camera to tilt down. Moving the puck back causes the camera to tilt up.
Panning the Camera
You also use the puck to pan the camera to the left and right. By default, turn the
puck clockwise and the gimbal will pivot to the right. Rotate (twist) the puck
counterclockwise and the M-Series will pivot left.
You can change this so that panning is done by moving the puck sideways left
(pan left) or right (pan right).
Zooming the Camera
By default, push the puck in and hold it 1 second to turn on 2X electronic zoom on
the IR camera. Push and hold for 2 seconds for 4X zoom (M-6x models only). Pull
up on the puck to return to 2X zoom and pull again to return to no zoom. The
screen icon changes to indicate the settings.
You can change this so that you zoom in by twisting the puck clockwise (zoom in)
or counterclockwise (zoom out).
Zoom applies only to the thermal camera in all M-Series models except the
M-618CS model, which has a continuous zoom visible color camera. The visible
camera will zoom to the same magnification as the IR camera.However, when
you are viewing visible output, you can continue to zoom to a preset limit.
