Thanks Steve. I had it set correctly but it initially didn't work. It seems that a longer press on the remote button did the trick. It could be that the battery is weak even though it was never used before (I had to pull out the plastic which was breaking the circuit). This is great. I look forward to using the K-30 as my go-to video capture in the studio. Thanks again for pointing to the page which helped me confirm the function.
Cheers,
Larry
