Camera position control modes
P550c offers two camera positioning control modes:

Direct , and

Go To .
Pressing the camera mode control button cycles between these two modes.
In Direct mode , the camera responds immediately to the joystick movement. Pressing the joystick
button down returns the camera to its front, central position.
In Go To mode , the joystick controls the position of a target, , in the MIMIC see page 164 .
Remembering that the MIMIC provides a 2D image of the 3D camera position, place the target where
you want the camera to point and press the joystick button down; the camera will then move to this point.
If MIMIC has been disabled in the Settings menu, selecting Go To mode will automatically enable it so
you can see the target and position it as you want.
Note : Camera positioning is not available for fixed, forward view cameras, or pushrod cameras.
Joint scan
When the Joint Scan icon (see page 164 ) is available (for Pan & Tilt and Pan, Tilt & Zoom cameras)
pressing the associated ATM button initiates a Joint Scan operation.
