Chapter 5 Preparation (continued)

5-10 Connection of the remote control unit (AJ-RC10G)

It is possible to control some of the functions remotely by connecting the remote control unit AJ-RC10G (optional accessory).

When AJ-RC10G is connected to the REMOTE connector on the unit and the power switches of both of the unit and AJ- RC10G are turned on, the unit automatically enters the remote control mode.

The remote control mode is released when AJ-RC10G is removed or the power for the AJ-RC10G is turned OFF.

Switch functions in the remote control mode

In the remote control mode, the following switches and buttons on the unit are disabled.

O SHUTTER switch O MENU button O JOG dial button O GAIN switch

O OUTPUT/AUTO KNEE switch O WHITE BAL switch

O USER MAIN button O USER 1 button

O USER 2 button

VTR operations in the remote control mode

In the remote control mode, the VTR can be operated with either the unit or AJ-RC10G.

5-11 Connection of the external switch

It is possible to draw 1.5 A current from the DC OUT connector of the unit.

REC start/stop can be controlled by connecting an external switch to this connector.

Since a tally lamp can be used by connecting an LED to this connector, it is useful for shooting video when fixing the camera on a crane.
