Using the Optional RC-V100 Remote Controller
You can connect the optional RC-V100 Remote Controller to the camcorder’s REMOTE A terminal or REMOTE
B terminal in order to control the camcorder (including advanced recording functions) from a distance. The
remote controller lets you turn on the camcorder, navigate the menus and change settings, control the aperture
and shutter speed, change some custom picture settings, and more. When you use the REMOTE B terminal to
connect the RC-V100, the camcorder can receive and process multiple simultaneous commands from the
remote controller.
