that move back over a longer length of time (up to 29.5 days).
1. Once in Head/Slider TT mode press the MENU button
until you get to the main menu
2. Use the joystick to move the camera carriage to your desired
start position. Note this position. For convenience you can use
a piece of tape, wax pencil, or optional measuring strip.
3. Move the Joystick down and select Motion Control
Press the MIDDLE JOYSTICK BUTTON or ENTER to confirm

Make sure to note your start position by using marking tape or a white
wax pencil so that you may return to it when prompted.

center joystick button to start recording without moving the
device. The following screen is displayed during recording:
Quick Tip - “Cruise Control”:
To lock the values of the ORACLE while recording, press the ENTER or
MIDDLE JOYSTICK BUTTON while holding the joystick in one position.
To unlock press the ENTER or MIDDLE JOYSTICK BUTTON again.
Note:
To get soft starts and stops it is best to have the speed turned all the way
down then push the joystick all the way the direction you want to move
as you slowly (over 10 seconds or so) dial the speed up to the desired
level then back down to stop.
Also, keep in mind this is an actual recording so keep your maximum
speed slow & under these specified values:
CineSlider, Shuttle Pod & Pocket Dolly: 300
Revolution Head: 150
You may notice that the movement while recording is jerky or
pulsing. This is normal as that is the result of the pulse recording
method of SmartLapse™.
