[. . . ] VZ-PG-L ­ Pistol-Grip LANC Camera Control Operating Manual Thank you for purchasing the VariZoom VZ-PG-L remote variable-speed zoom and focus controller for DV camcorders. [. . . ] Extension LANC cables are available from VariZoom. Recording: Press the red button next to the rocker to activate the record/pause function. The red LED will light up when camera is recording and may also blink to give to indicate low battery power and end-of-tape. Zoom: Press the rocker on the right side for zoom in (Telephoto). Zoom speeds are dependent upon the position of the speed control knob. Variable Zoom and Speed Settings: Turn the speed control knob all the way clockwise until it stops. By pressing on either the right or left side of the rocker, the lens will zoom either in or out. While pressing the rocker down, roll the knob with your index finger counterclockwise to variably speed up and clockwise to variably decrease speed (see picture at right). Manual Focus: To utilize the VZ-PG-L's focus feature, put your camera in manual focus mode (consult camcorder instructions). The two buttons are located above the zoom rocker switch on the VZ-PG-L and will control manual focus functions on all compatible cameras. One button pushes the focal plane farther away and the other brings the focal plane closer to the camera. Canon XL1/XL2/GL1/GL2 users note: the manual focus buttons are disabled while shooting in Green Box (full auto) mode, even if the lens switch is set to manual. ON/OFF: The recessed red button on the control will power up camcorders that have gone into auto standby mode.
