A low profile record button ("R") avoids accidental activation. And finally, the Wake up from standby button ("ON") Your camera manufacturer wisely created this safety feature to protect your camera.

VariZoom controls respects this feature and utilizes it to the video graphers greatest advantage. The purpose of this critical safety feature is to prevent damage to your camerastape heads and the tape itself. When a camera is in pause mode the tape is stillengaged with the spinning recording heads of the camera.

Because the tape is not moving when in pause mode the heads will be spinning in place on the tape. The standby safety mode activates the tape transport to disengage the tape from the recording heads. This of course eliminates wear and tear on your camera and your tape.

When National Geographic uses our VariZoom's on their wildlife shoots, they sometimes wait for hours with the camera in standby mode. When they get ready to shoot again they press the "wake up from stand-by button" and then the tape re-engages the recording heads and remains in pause until the record button is pushed.
