SONY DXC-3000 Zoom Orientation
The remote electric zoom is relatively a simple device. Aside from controlling zoom action it also contains a video return button. This button,
labeled “VTR” will allow you to see what is on the preview monitor in the control room. With this capability you can COMP (compose) a shot with
switcher setting appearing in your camera viewfinder. This is how to COMP for a box wipe or television graphic like that in a newscast program. You
can also use it to see what the up-coming event is. The video return button does not affect your camera output to the switcher so it wonʼt matter if you
decide to activate the switch during the program.
There are 2 remote video return buttons
1. Top of the handle above the zoom rocker switch
2. A depression under the rubber housing of the
handle (hidden)
Zoom action switch
Video Return button
Remote zoom rocker switch
(telephoto-clockwise turn)
( wide-counter clockwise turn)
The zoom action switch changes the rocker zoom
from a clockwise zoom-in to a clockwise zoom out.
Normally a clockwise movement of the zoom rocker
performs a zoom-in or telephoto action.
The real purpose of this switch is to accomodate for
left-handed operators.
