1. A system for providing remote manual control to a subject recorded by an automatic recording system, said system comprising:

  • a camera;

    a positioner that, having been initialized, performs a tracking operation wherein said positioner orients said camera at the subject;

    a base unit; and

    a remote unit;

    wherein said remote unit is substantially collocated with the subject during use and wherein said remote unit is equipped with at least one manual control that, when engaged, causes said remote unit to send a signal to said base unit that results in a new initialization of said positioner wherein the signal sent from said remote unit to said base unit upon engaging said at least one manual control causes said positioner to temporarily stop the tracking operation and to turn said camera in one direction until said at least one manual control is engaged again.
