Another snow day and the cats were going nuts so I took a look to see what was string them up and decided to do another test video. In this video I test the optical zoom on the Canon Vixia HF R400. There is very little sound with the idea that you can hear the slight noise that the motor makes when zooming.

Google translate is a great app to have on your phone even if you do not use it all the time. Just having it in reserve can help you out in many different situations. First and for most Google translate should be on your phone if you are travailing anywhere that your primary language is not the standard language. It will help you understand everything from road signs to menus. As well as talk with the locals. If you are worried about data charges while traveling don't. Google Translate has and off line mode where you can store on your phone some language packs so no data connection is required. The other reason to have Google Translate on your phone if you like me just barely remember your high school language class and have a job where you might have to interact with someone who might not speak your primary language the Google Translate can be a life saver.
