Remote control device for a motion picture camera and marking ring for a remote control device

A remote control device for a lens setting motor of a motion picture camera, said remote control device comprising an operating unit, wherein the operating unit has

• a base part,
• an operating element rotatable relative to the base part about an axis of rotation for setting control commands for the lens setting motor, and
• a position encoder that is configured to detect a respective rotational position of the operating element relative to the base part and to generate corresponding position signals;
• wherein the remote control device has an evaluation and control device that is configured to determine setting signals for the lens setting motor in dependence on the position signals in accordance with a mapping rule;
• wherein the mapping rule corresponds to at least one mathematical functional relationship,
• wherein the remote control device has an input device via which the at least one mathematical functional relationship of the mapping rule can be configured by a user input, and
• wherein the input device is configured to allow setting, by the user input, a relationship corresponding to a non-linear relationship between values of the position signal and associated values of the setting signal for at least one value range of the position signals or for at least one value range of the setting signals.
