What remote control features are available? Stop and start record? Zoom?

the remote has to have the micro-USB connector, not the older semi-circle connector. Sony's adapter cable does not work for remote control devices.

Sony's website does not offer a remote control, and none comes in the box. Sony's website does offer several overpriced tripods, including "detachable remote control," which likely include stop and start record, and zoom. In theory, you can remote control the device with your smart phone, but, as far as I can tell, this only works with phones that have NFC -- "Near field communication." That's becoming more common in smart phones but most phones don't have it.

There is a servo connection that attaches to the camera. This allows remote trigger of it. Also to change modes from still to video.

No remote control. Somewhere on the web, I found one with a remote, but when I went back to order it, I couldn't find it. This particular one does not.

No remote for this model. The glasses toggle between video and still and any video editing software can pull stills off the video.

I didn't purchase the remote control. I used the controller that attaches to the handlebar. It controls volume, track advance, pause, voice commands, ect.

No. The remote is not the only way to start and stop recording. The remote does not have a way to know whether the camera has been started manually. The remote does have tactile feedback when you press the start-stop button, and the LED flashes once with each press.

The cameras only zoom in and out. You can hook up an internet connection and control it remotely.

You can do either. It comes with Windoze-only management software, but it also has a built in web server. You can log in remotely over the internet and control pan, tilt, and "zoom" (not that it has optical zoom) and snap pictures all in a Safari compliant web browser. It also streams video in multiple formats and resolutions.

There is no on-off button. You have to plug and unplug, or turn off through device. Device should control recording.

Yes, there is a wireless remote control. I don't know if or that it would have the the range to operate from across a room. It needs to be focused directly on the monitor screen, and I have never tried to use it at a distance of more than a few feet. There are also aftermarket remotes than can be purchased from photo stores for this camera. The specs, and range, should be available with them.

I have used my remote to rewind and play the tapes. The touch screen got to where I could not use for any functions but could rewind & play the tape I had in there. That is all I have really used the remote for. Love the camera though.

Yes it does have a remote, it also has a mouse. I am delighted with the software. However I made the mistake of purchasing the unit and not checking that it had a DVD recorder.

No...thankfully, I have a remote that works....I was disappointed.... However, thus far, the recorder is operative & plays fine.
