NOTES:

●If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate focusing is not possible. Keep the lens clean. ( pg. 34) When condensation occurs, wipe with a soft cloth or wait for it to dry naturally.

●When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out first. ( pg. 10) If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder may automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. This will not occur when “TELE MACRO” is set to “ON”. ( pg. 15)

● Be sure to focus the lens in the maximum telephoto position	ADVANCED
when you use the Manual Focus mode. If you focus in on a

subject in the wide-angle position, sharply focused images cannot be obtained when zoomed up because the depth- of-field is reduced at longer focal lengths.

● When the focus level cannot be adjusted any further or closer, “ ” or “ ” will blink.
