VariZoom VZROCKPZFI - Manual (Page 2)

6. IRIS CONTROL – Operating the iris control is fairly simple – you do not need to set
anything on the camera first. Note that the ROCK-PZFI’s iris dial allows the operator to
adjust iris to a limited extent even when the remote is set to auto iris ‘A’. To adjust the iris
manually through the full range of F-stops, simply set the remote iris switch to ‘M’ and turn
the iris dial (smaller knurled dial on top of the control). Switching it back to ‘A’ will cause
the camera to take over and slowly adjust the iris automatically to an appropriate level.
Note that when you switch back to ‘M’ on the remote the camera will reset the iris to the
position dictated by the iris dial (the same as with the focus dial).
Care and Maintenance of the VZ-ROCK-PZFI
Although the unit is designed to easily withstand normal wear and tear, it should be cared for
and protected just like your camera. As normal precautions, avoid dropping or crushing the
unit and try to keep it as dry as possible. While it can withstand some of this type of
treatment, it will last longer and operate consistently if you take these precautions. If you
have any problems or questions, feel free to email or call us.
Troubleshooting: 1) Zoom Creeping (unwanted zooming): Recalibrating the zoom center is easy. With the
controller connected to your camera, loosen the brass set screw on the underside of the rocker with a 5/64” hex
key (alan wrench), holding the rocker firmly in place. On the backside of the rocker is a hole with a slotted shaft,
and this is where you adjust the zoom center with a flat screwdriver. Turn it slightly left and right and you’ll see
the camera zoom in and out – find the centermost point between the zoom in/out start positions, then tighten the
brass set screw (don’t overcrank it).
Warranty Info: Do not open your control device, as this may void your warranty and possibly damage the
control. If you need service, contact VariZoom for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA #). All controls
have a 2-year parts and labor warranty. Please save your receipt and send us your comments and suggestions.
