Operation

WARNING: THIS IS NOT A “LANC” CONTROL DEVICE. DO NOT PLUG THE VZ-PFI INTO

ANY CAMCORDER OTHER THAN APPROVED PANASONIC UNITS. THIS REMOTE CONTROL SHOULD

ONLY BE PLUGGED INTO THE SPECIFIED ‘CAM REMOTE’ JACKS ON THE CAMCORDER BODY.

Thanks for buying our new FOCUS/IRIS control for the Panasonic DVX100B and

HVX200 camcorders. We think you will enjoy this product, but before using it please read the

instructions thoroughly.

1. First, loosen the brass clamp nuts and fix the controller

to your tripod handle, jib, or shoulder support.

2. The cable will have four rings on the tip.

The focus/iris connector is the larger plug that fits into

the ‘FOCUS/IRIS’ jack. NOTE: DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE

CONNECTION PORTS HVX200 USERS WILL WANT TO PAY SPECIAL

ATTENTION TO ENSURE A SOLID CONNECTION.

3. FOCUS CONTROL - To operate the remote focus control feature properly, the ‘FOCUS’

switch on the side of the camera lens should be set to ‘A’. While the switch on the

controller is set to ‘M’, you can adjust the focus precisely using the focus wheel on the

left side of the control.-Note that your camera has addressable focus points indicated in

the viewfinder by“MF00 – MF99” (when in autofocus mode, it will read “AF00 – AF99”).

This means you can precisely rehearse or repeat focal adjustments without any guessing.

4. IRIS CONTROL - To operate the iris control, no special settings are required on your

camera. Simply set the ‘IRIS’ toggle switch on the zoom controlller to ‘M’ and you will

have full control over the aperture. -Note that like the focus, the camera has addressable

points for the iris range. You will continue to have limited control over the f stop range even

when the ‘IRIS’ toggle switch is set to ‘A’

5. Care and Maintenance of the VZ-PFI

As normal precautions, avoid dropping or crushing the unit and try to keep it as dry

as possible. While it can withstand some of this type of treatment, it will last longer

and operate consistently if you take these precautions. If you have any problems or

questions, feel free to email or call us.

Warranty Info: Do not open your control device, as this may void your warranty and possibly damage the

control. If you need service, contact VariZoom for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA #). All controls

have a 2-year parts and labor warranty. Please save your receipt and send us your comments and suggestions.

Thanks!
