INSTALLATION
Make sure your video camera is turned off before installing CamEye SPORT.
As a precaution, never insert or eject the LANC connector in or out
of the video camera when it is operating.
Turn OFF the video camera. Insert the LANC connector in
the LANC socket on the camera. It has a blue ring around it
or a LANC symbol next to it. Consult your manual if needed.
Place the control unit so that you can reach it easily and see
the indicator light. Use tape or velcro. Make sure that the cable
is well protected and securely attached.
OPERATION
Recording and Stand-by (Camera & Player/VCR Mode)
Turn on the video camera by setting the video camera mode
switch to ’CAMERA’ or ’PLAYER/VCR’ (’PLAYER/VCR’
is only applicable if your video camera has an analogue or a
digital input).
The green light, indicating stand-by, turns on when the video
camera is ready to start recording.
Press the control switch briefly and let go. The video camera
starts recording (indicator light changes to a red light). The
video camera alternates between stand-by and recording each
time you click on the control switch.
Power off (All modes)
Hold down the control switch for at least 2 seconds and the
light shifts to a quick flashing red light.
Release the control switch and the video camera turns off.
Power on (All modes except in ’OFF’ mode)
Hold down the control switch for 1 second and then let go.
(Note that the video camera mode switch should remain in
’CAMERA’ or ’PLAYER/VCR’ mode during all operations).
Fail-safe operation
You can still operate the video camera the normal way. The
indicator light will display the video camera status independently
of the control switch.
