							Connecting the AQ-EC1 Extension Control Unit (Option)
Connecting the AQ-EC1 extension control unit (option) allows a portion of the camera section
functions to be operated by remote control.
When the AQ-EC1 is connected and the POWER switches of the unit and AQ-EC1 are set to ON,
the unit automatically enters remote control mode.
The handling instructions included with the AQ-EC1 describe operations for when the AQ-EC1 is
connected to an AQ series digital camera.
When the AQ-EC1 is connected to the AJ-D700, some functions differ, and some features cannot
be used.
6-pin Cable
ECU Connector
AQ-EC1

The POWER switches of the unit and AQ-EC1 must be set to OFF before the 6-pin cable is
connected or disconnected.
All adjustments and settings made using the switches and controls other than the menu setting
section of the AQ-EC1 are erased when the unit’s POWER switch is set to OFF. Also, adjust-
ments and settings made using the AQ-EC1 cannot be written to setup cards. However, when
the AQ-EC1 is connected again, these settings return to the AQ-EC1 settings.
(Menu contents set with the menu setting section are saved.)

The functions of the AQ-EC1 are limited as follows.
The STORE switch does not function.
(If the menu settings are changed while the AQ-EC1 is connected to the AJ-D700, the new menu
settings are saved automatically as soon as the changes are made.)
Note that the AQ-EC1 gain switch displays -3, 0 and 9 correspond to L, M and H, and the
OUTPUT switch settings CAMERA, TEST and BAR to CAM/AUTO KNEE ON, CAM/AUTO
KNEE OFF and BAR for each main unit.
The Synchro scan and Super V modes cannot be used while the AQ-EC1 is connected to the
unit.
The lens iris (IRIS) control of the AQ-EC1 is valid only when the lens iris AUTO/MANUAL selec-
tor is set to AUTO.
