HELP! Cannot plug the LANC cable!
I have my xm2 finally.
But.. I cannot plug fully the 2.5 stereo mini jack to the LANC connector. (our homemade zoom controller) With Sony's D8 this wasn't a problem. The documentation says, this is a standard LANC connector. Is there any difference between a 2.5stereo mini jack and a 2.5stereo mini jack?? Should i use a mono jack? But we need the power too! |

I am confused.
Are you saying that you've built your own LANC controller using a stereo mini-plug?

Yes, it's not a hard work.
Just some precise timing, and we know the codes for variable zoom, manual focus, etc. http://www.boehmel.de/lanc.htm BUT I CANNOT PLUG IN!! |

Re: Excellent LANC INfo!
And here is the problem:
web.axelero.hu/prechj/pics/lancproblem1.jpg web.axelero.hu/prechj/pics/lancproblem2.jpg i don't want make more force, because my cam is very new, and don't want broken the plug into my cam :( So, i think this is a standard 2.5mm stereo mini jack: web.axelero.hu/prechj/pics/lancproblem3.jpg i will call Canon soon |

Re: Re: Excellent LANC INfo!
Good News!
My problem is solved! With a grater i have lower a bit the thickness of the jack. It seems, here in Hungary, standard is not a standard.. :) thank you |
