VariZoom VZSPG-PZFI User Manual
Vz-pg-pz, Operating instructions, Recording
Recording:
Press the button above the zoom rocker to activate the camera’s pause/record function.
Zoom:
Your VZ-PG-PZ features a high-sensitivity variable zoom rocker designed for thumb control. Pressing on the left side
zooms out (Wide) and pressing on the right side zooms in (Telephoto). The rocker is pressure sensitive and allows you to smoothly
ramp up and down in speed by applying more or less pressure. Zoom speed is dependent on the pressure applied to the rocker, but
each camera model may vary slightly in its maximum and minimum speed capabilities. The PG-PZ will access the entire range of any
compatible camera’s zoom speeds, but some models can zoom slower or faster than others. For example, a DVX100B at its slowest
speed takes about 30 seconds to zoom through the entire Wide-Telephoto range, but the original DVX100A took 20 seconds, so the B
version has a much slower minimum zoom speed.
