Hi, I'd like to know if there is a remote control for Panasonic DMC-FZ200 camera. I need a video start/stop remote control.
Can you suggest one of them? Thanks

The only remote I see any mention of by the manual is the DMW-RSL1. But this won't start or stop video recording.

You can trigger the shutter very easily with a wireless remote trigger. I have a pair of FZ200s for 3d work and use a wireless trigger with two receivers to synchronise the shutters. You will need to have the camera set to the video only setting on the selector dial. Any other setting will take stills only.

Here is a link to the ones I bought. Pixel RW-221/L1 Wireless Shutter Remote with RS1 Type: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004DOUOI2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00)

Hi, thanks a lot for your info. My english is poor and I don't understand if that remote control if for start and stop the video too. I read: Support autofocus, single shooting, continuous shooting, delayed shooting and bulb shooting functions.

Then, can you tell me if Panasonic FZ200 workks easily and correctly in automatic? I mean about the video.

Then, why I read: Interchangeable cable design to allow you to use it on different brand cameras. But if it is wireles it doesn't need a cable.
Thanks again one.
