VZ-STEALTH-LX OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
***PLEASE READ BEFORE USING***
Thanks for purchasing our new deluxe miniature lens control, the Stealth-LX. Before you begin
using your controller, there 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 BRASS ZOOM THROTTLE OR THE LANC CABLE TO
UNNECESSARY STRESS.
ABUSE OF THE ZOOM THROTTLE OR LANC CABLE MAY
RESULT IN DAMAGE NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY!
Your StealthZoom controller is equipped with the following features:
pressure-sensitive
variable speed zoom control; manual focus control; record start/stop; wake-up from
standby; LED indicator light; edit search (ff/rew); data on/off; autofocus.
HOW TO USE THE STEALTHZOOM
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 Stealth-LX is
ready to perform.
3. The brass handle located at the center of the
controller is for
zooming
. Since it is a pressure-
sensitive “zoom throttle,” the farther you push it up
the faster it will zoom in (telephoto), and the farther
you pull it back the faster it will zoom out (wide).
You should practice a bit before shooting so that
you acquire a good sense of the throttle
characteristics.
