    I have been exploring more of the HVX’s goodies and I started to use the small zoom rocker switch on the handel. When I set that dip switch to 3 it zooms in and out pretty fast. When I set it to 1 it is a very slow in and out but nothing happens when the dip switch is set on 2. Is this a programable feature or should it default to a zoom between 1 and 3?

    Doka;

    It’s in camera switch settings section of the manual, but basically your choices are:

    HANDLE ZOOM
    P2 TAPE (Camera) Sets the zoom speed assigned to each setting position of the HANDLE ZOOM
    switch.

    L/OFF/H: Sets LOW (low speed)/OFF/HIGH (high speed) to the 1/2/3 position. (Zoom is
    disabled when set to OFF).

    L/OFF/M: Sets LOW (low speed)/OFF/MID (medium speed) to the 1/2/3 position. (Zoom
    is disabled when set to OFF).

    L/M/H: Sets LOW/MID (medium speed)/HIGH to the 1/2/3 position.

    Sounds like you may want the latter choice, L/M/H….

    Cheers!

    Ahh thanks, I thought it might have been broken. I think I like your idea since it was the one that I was thinking about. L/M/H
