Using a Zoom Remote Controller

By attaching the optional RA-V1 Remote Control Adapter to the mini
advanced shoe, you can use the optional ZR-2000 or ZR-1000 Zoom
Remote Controller. Doing so will allow you to use certain functions
while viewing the picture on an external monitor without touching the
camcorder. This is particularly useful while the camcorder is mounted
on a tripod and you want to ensure maximum stability of a shot.
The functions available with the zoom remote controller are as follows:
turning the power on/off, starting/stopping a recording, zoom, switch-
ing between autofocus and manual focus1, focus adjustment, Push
AF1, 2, focus assist1, and displaying on-screen displays on an external
monitor.
