Notes:

• Lens control is disabled when the lens is
connected to a receiver or controller of less
than 12 V 50 mA or 9 V 65 mA.

• If the lens is connected to a receiver or con­troller of a lower current rating when the
voltage selector is at 6 V, a time lag may
occur to activate the lens after pressing the
controller button.

• If this lens is used in a Panasonic WV­RC100 or WV-RC150 receiver with the lens
voltage selection switch set to the LOW
position and the lens voltage fine control set
to the default position, the zoom may not
function.
In such a case, set the lens voltage fine
control of the receiver to the maximum posi­tion or the lens voltage selection switch to
the HIGH position (lens voltage selector
also set to 12 V) before using the lens.
