Advanced Shooting

MF/AF (Manual Focus/Auto Focus)

The MF/AF function works in CAMERA mode only.

In most situations, it is better to use the Automatic Focus feature, as it enables you to concentrate on the creative side of your shooting.

Manual focusing may be necessary under certain conditions that make automatic focusing inadequate.

Auto Focusing

If you are inexperienced with camcorders, we recommend that you use the Auto Focus mode.
