Using the Wireless Controller or Optional Remote Control

The zoom speeds when using the wireless controller and when using an optional (ZR-2000 or ZR-1000 Zoom Remote Controller) or commercially available remote control connected to the REMOTE terminal are different. When using the wireless controller, you must press the record enable button and desired zoom button simultaneously to zoom.
