When using the remote camera, exposure, white balance, and camera sensitivity are set
to auto. The optical and 4X digital zoom are active. There are no menu controls. The
monitor cannot be turned off. The flash is disabled. There is no audio.
The camera can be focused periodically by pressing the
shutter-release button partway down. The AF system does
not continually focus when the button is pressed and held so
the operation should be repeated as the subject distances
changes.
Because of the data rate, there may be delays when the
camera is focused or zoomed.
The charger can be used as a camera stand. When the
camera is on, the charger does not charge or supply power
to the camera.
