Zoomed position and picture angle change when the
ZOOM switch is switched from LEVER/REMOTE
to RING.
If you rotate the zoom ring fast, motor noise will
become louder as the zoom motor rotates at high
speeds. If the motor noise is so loud that can be
recorded, use the zoom lever or the Remote
Commander.
