4. The small button marked with a red “R” is the record

start/stop button. The button marked ON will toggle
the camera between standby and full power modes.
Hold the button in for 2 seconds and release to put the
camera into standby mode. To power the camera up
from standby mode, simply press the ON button (most
camcorders will go into auto standby after a few
minutes in record pause mode). Pressing the “ON”
button will bring the camcorder back to full operating
mode whether you put it into standby manually or if it
happens automatically.

5. You can also control the focus of your lens manually using the StealthZoom. You will have

to switch the camcorder from Autofocus mode to Manual mode in order to use this function
(you may need to consult your camcorder owner’s manual). Once you have set the camera
to Manual Focus mode, you can use the switch on the controller marked “Focus” to precisely
adjust the focal plane. Pressing the up arrow (

∧) will bring the focal plane closer while

pressing the down arrow (

∨) will move the focal plane farther away.

6. Finally, the LED indicator light located above the zoom throttle will turn red (or blink) to

indicate a variety of camcorder functions such as record, tape out, low battery, etc. (the
pattern will vary slightly between different camcorders, but will remain consistent when used
with the same camcorder). You are ready to begin using the StealthZoom. Enjoy! (When
not in use, disconnect the StealthZoom.)
