After three seconds, you will heard a sound of mode switching. Meanwhile, the compensation direction is opposite to the rotation axis, which will cause it rotate usually. That means MS1 is in inverted shot mode and the handle can be inverted.2. When inverted,the five ways multi mode control can be used normally. You can switch to lock mode or follow mode,but the operational direction is opposite to the normal direction .3. When in the inverted shot mode , redo the stept 1,then you can change it back to non- inverted shot mode.4. When shutting down the system the shot mode will not be restored to its default.
