The remote lanc control on FS700 has stopped working altogether. I tried the remote on another camera and the unit itself is ok so i presume its a camera fault, any ideas?, before i send it away for repairs.? I did the zoom upgrade but that was five months ago so it doesn't coincide with that.

I sent the camera after extensive testing to resolve that it was an in camera problem and not the remote or land. Apparently it was the connection between the 3.5 input jack and the circuit board.

Yes, my Manfrotto Lanc manual reads 'connect everything together before powering up' .. in BIG type. Easy to miss when you're in a hurry.

Cheers.
