Video camera operating device

摘要

A video camera operating device which permits the photographing lens of the camera to be controlled either in an automatic mode or a manual mode from a remote operating device. Both the remote operating device and a close operating device on the video camera body include an automatic focusing/manual focusing changeover switch. When the remote operating device is connected to the video camera via a cable, the automatic focusing/manual focusing changeover switch of the remote operating device takes precedence over that of the close operating device. The remote operating device also includes controls for selecting short or long distance movement of the lens and for controlling the speed at which the lens is moved.
