Operating Instructions

VZ-PG-EX

Recording: Press the button above the zoom rocker to activate the camera’s pause/record function.
Zoom: Your VZ-PG-EX features dual-variable speed control. You can set the speed control knob to limit the max zoom speed

available through the variable thumb rocker. The variable thumb rocker is pressure sensitive and allows you to smoothly ramp up to the
max speed and back down again. In other words, the rocker will give you the full range of zoom speeds if the dial is turned all the way
up, and a very small range of speeds if it is turned almost all the way down (when it is turned completely down, zoom is deactivated).

You can also use the speed dial in conjunction with the rocker, rolling the dial with your index finger to vary speed as you depress the
rocker. Max and min zoom speeds may vary between different lens models, but the PG controller will access the full range of available
speeds for any given lens
