Yes — the Sony HDR‑CX240 does support remote zooming, but it requires using the Multi Terminal port with a compatible wired remote.
Here's how it works:
Multi Terminal Compatibility
-
The HDR‑CX240 features a Sony Multi Terminal port, which supports wired remote control including zoom and record functions
-
Compatible remotes include the Sony RM‑VPR1 model, and third-party alternatives like the JJC SR‑F2 Remote Commander, which explicitly list the HDR‑CX240 as a supported device and offer zoom functionality via the Multi Terminal
What You Can Do
-
Zoom in/out remotely—you can remotely control the lens zoom using the remote.
-
Control recording and power—some remotes also allow starting/stopping recording and powering the camera on/off.
