Question

Canon MVX200i - automatically goes to full telephoto

Jun 27, 2011 2:20AM PDT

Hi everyone, new to this forum.

I have a Canon MVX200i which I downsized from XL.

I have searched the internet looking for a solution to the following problem which is really annoying me & for which I feel like replacing the camcorder.

When switching on the camcorder it seems to automatically zooms in to full telephoto mode. Went on a motor racing circuit where I wanted to film the circuit but the recording was ruined by the camcorder zoomin in on its own accord & I had to keep my finger on the slider to keep it at wide angle (not easy when driving at the sametime - camcorder was on a fixed bracket in the car).

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated
