Chapter 11 DME Operations

Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations
• To change on the z-axis, rotate the Z-ring.
Parameter values increase as you rotate clockwise, and decrease as you
rotate counterclockwise.
However, when you have pressed the [LOC XYZ] button to move the
image, z-axis parameters increase as you rotate counterclockwise, and
decrease as you rotate clockwise.
If you hold down the [SRC] or [TRGT] button while carrying out the above
operations, the rate of change of the parameters is reduced. (Fine mode)

To restrict the change in the transformation to a specific axis, press the [X],
[Y], or [Z] button, tuning it on.
This enables the trackball and Z-ring operations on the selected axis only.
