When the AK-HC1800N, to which the motor drive lens is connected, has been directly connected to the AW-RP555 controller, zooming and focusing can be controlled using the controller’s joystick.

When changing the panel display for use with the AK-HC1800N, please use panel sheet VGKB0006 (sold separately as a replacement part).

Ver.041 or a subsequent version of the AW-RP555 software must be installed in order for the AKHC1800N to be controlled using the AW-RP555.

To check the software version of your AW-RP555, contact your dealer.
