Advanced Recording
MF/AF (Manual Focus/Auto Focus)
✤The MF/AF function works in the 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 recording.
✤Manual focusing may be necessary under certain conditions that make automatic focusing inadequate.
Auto Focusing
✤The AF (Auto Focus) mode is set automatically when you switch on the Power switch.
✤If you are inexperienced with camcorders, we recommend that you use the Auto Focus mode.

a.A picture containing several objects, some close to the camcorder, others further away.
b.A person enveloped in fog or surrounded by snow.
c.Very shiny or glossy surfaces like a car.
d.People or objects moving constantly or quickly like an athlete or crowd.
