3.Auto Cruising Zoom Operation
In auto cruising zoom operation, the zoom moves to the tele end or the wide end 
at constant speed. This function is effective when a constant slow zoom speed is 
required across the zooming range. 
 
Note: If the zoom limit function is used, the zoom will stop at the zoom limit 
positions. In this case, the zoom may not reach the tele end or the wide end.

a. Set the servo/manual select knob to “S”. 
b. Press the zoom seesaw control lever and adjust the zoom speed. 
c. While pressing the zoom seesaw control lever, press the quickzoom & auto 
cruising zoom switch.
• The auto cruising zoom function will work.
d. Release your hand from the zoom seesaw control lever.
• The zoom will move to the tele end or the wide end at a constant
speed that is determined when the quickzoom & auto cruising zoom 
switch is pressed. 
Note: By setting an appropriate switch in the area of “Function & Mode Select 
Switches” (refer to illustration on page 8), the return switch and the VTR switch 
can be used also as a quickzoom & auto cruising zoom switch. 
 
Releasing 
 
There are three ways to release the auto cruising zoom operation mode.
1. Press the zoom seesaw control lever on the side of the direction of the 
zoom movement. 
• When the amount of displacement of the zoom seesaw control
lever exceeds that determined when the auto cruising zoom 
operation is set, the auto cruising zoom operation mode will be

the smooth zoom movement.)

direction of the zoom movement. 
• The auto cruising zoom operation mode will be released
immediately, and the zoom will move toward the reverse direction.
