Remote control unit for an objective and for a camera
First Claim
1. A remote control unit (10) for an objective and for a camera, comprising a base part (12), an operating element (18) movable relative to the base part (12), an evaluation and control device (50) for generating a control signal in accordance with the position of the operating element (18), an output device (54) for outputting the control signal to an associated camera, and a user indication through a feedback device in the remote control unit, wherein the evaluation and control device (50) is adapted to control the feedback device to generate at least one feedback signal only if the position of the operating element (18) reaches a preset position or one of a plurality of preset positions,wherein the feedback signal is perceivable by a user of the control unit, andwherein the feedback signal comprises at least one ofa haptic signal andan illumination signal generated by an illumination device (22) adapted to illuminate a part of the remote control unit (10) in accordance with a base illumination characteristic, the illumination signal having an illumination characteristic differing from the base illumination characteristic.
