Chrosziel Zoom Series User Manual Addendum
Steps to switch the zoom modes
You can choose the different modes by pressing the zoom rocker for round about 25
seconds, then the green LED flashes very fast while changing the zoom mode and after
that it blinks 1, 2, 3 or 4 times* – depends on the zoom mode you chose (* 1 = EB /
Documentary / 2 = Silent / 3 = Live / Hard Cut / 4 = Direct). To cycle through these all you
need to do is hold the zoom rocker down one way for a couple of seconds to switch to the
next mode, and the other way, hold to reverse.
EB / Documentary Mode
Designed for long and smooth zoom drives with the CDM -LWZ3-Z it offers slow creeping
zoom transitions while keeping the motive perfectly framed.
Silent Mode
To reduce the sound of the zoom servo drive the maximum speed of its motor is limited to
40 percent making the setup almost inaudible.
Live / Hardcut Mode
To catch the best moments, the Live / Hardcut Mode is useful. It uses 80 percent of the
maximum speed capacity of the motor offering fast zoom drives but with Soft Ramping.
Direct Mode
The Direct Mode finally uses the full speed capacity of the Zoom Servo Drive. The LANC
commands are implemented instantaneously without ramping and smooth transitions.
Useful for B camera operators catching snaps shots from the concert.
