Local area control
(LAC)
The
LAC
provides remote operation of all camera functions
and the ability to execute ramp speed/shutter compensated
shots. The
LAC
duplicates the controls and operation from
the camera back panel (see 7.2). An additional set of speed
and shutter angle switches have been included to facilitate
ramp speed/shutter compensated shots as well as a set of
time switches and ramp/xtal switch.
Normal Remote Operation:
■
Plug
LAC
into back panel remote connector. The back
panel display will blackout and the
LAC
display will illumi-
nate.
■
Set
RAMP/XTAL
to
XTAL
and set graphic coordinated speed
and shutter angle switches to desired settings (see 7.2).
■
Camera on/off switch is located on top of the
LAC
.
To Set Ramp Speed/ Shutter Compensation:
■
Set
RAMP/XTAL
switch to ramp. The display will show
HI
?
LO
?
■
Determine desired speed range and set minimum and
maximum speeds in the respective windows.
■
Calculate required shutter angles and set minimum and
maximum shutter angles in the respective windows.
■
The shot will be executed by the camera in the time set in
the time window. Set desired time.
■
The
HI
?
LO
? in the display determines the starting param-
eter of the shot. Select
HI
by pressing the
HI
button, if the
shot is to start at the maximum speed and move to the
minimum speed.
■
Select
LO
by pressing
LO
button if the shot is to start at the
minimum speed and move to the maximum speed.
■
Turn the camera on. The camera will run at either the
maximum or minimum speed depending on which was
selected. By pressing either the
HI
or
LO
button, the cam-
era will execute the desired speed and shutter change in
the set amount of time.
■
Once the shot is complete, pressing the
HI
or
LO
will
reverse the shot.
NOTE:
Only three of the four speed and shutter settings are
required: i.e., a 15 to 24 fps speed change is desired with an ending
shutter angle of 180º. In lieu of calculating the minimum shutter
angle, set the minimum window to zeros, the maximum window to
180º and 15/24 in the respective
FPS
window. Determine
HI
? or
LO?
as above. When the shot is executed, the camera will calculate
the missing shutter angle.
