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 centre of the scene. Always keep the subject in the centre of the scene.

Notes:

•If no subject is in the centre of the scene, the focus area will expand and the subject nearest the centre will be focused on.

•If no subject is displayed, the camcorder will automatically zoom out until a subject comes into the frame.

•Auto Focus may not work in the situations described on page 42. In these situations, use the manual focus function.

Macro Shots

Available modes:

TAPE-CAMERA, CARD-CAMERA

This camcorder lets you shoot close-up images of small objects such as flowers and insects, or make title frames for your videos. When you want to record a magnified image of a subject which is within approximately 1.5 m of the camcorder, do not zoom in on it. Instead, zoom out all the way by pushing the Power Zoom control to the W side, and then move the camcorder closer to the subject until you obtain the desired angle of view. The camcorder will automatically focus on the subject when the lens is set for the widest angle.

Power Zoom control

•The zoom speed depends on how far you push the Power Zoom control.

Notes:

•The camcorder is unable to focus when zooming in on subjects within 1.5 m. The camcorder will automatically zoom out until it is able to focus on the subject.

•See page 28 for how to use the digital zoom.
