Basic Operations
The camcorder is preset to Auto Focus mode, which is designed to focus on most types of subjects. In Auto Focus mode, the camcorder automatically focuses on the subject in the center of the scene. Always keep the subject in the center of the scene.
Notes:
•If no subject is in the center of the scene, the focus area will expand and the subject nearest the center will be focused on.
•Auto Focus may not work in the situations described on page 47. In these situations, use the manual focus function.
•The camcorder may not be able to focus correctly if the subject is closer than approximately 5 feet (1.5 m). Set the zoom control to wide angle, and try refocusing again.
•If the lens is dirty or fogged, the camcorder may not be able to focus correctly.
