FEATURE: Auto Focus

PURPOSE:

The camcorder’s Full Range AF system offers continuous shooting ability from close-up (as close as approx. 5 cm to the subject) to infinity.

However, correct focus may not be obtainable in the situations listed below (in these cases use manual focusing):

•When two subjects overlap in the same scene. •When illumination is low.*

•When the subject has no contrast (difference in brightness and darkness), such as a flat, one-colour wall, or a clear, blue sky.*

•When a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.*

•When the scene contains minute patterns or identical patterns that are regularly repeated. •When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light reflecting off the surface of a body of water. •When shooting a scene with a high-contrast background.

* The following low-contrast warnings appear blinking: , , and

NOTES:

●If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate focusing is not possible. Keep the lens clean, wiping with a piece of soft cloth if it gets dirty. 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. 16). 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” (☞ pg. 22) is activated.

FEATURE: Manual Focus

PURPOSE:

To obtain correct focus.

OPERATION:

1)If you are using the viewfinder, you should already have made the necessary viewfinder adjustments (☞ pg. 8).

2)Set the Power Switch to “ ”, then press FOCUS (3). The manual focus indicator appears.

3)To focus on a farther subject, rotate MENU/BRIGHT towards “+”. “ ” appears and blinks. To focus on a nearer subject, rotate MENU/BRIGHT towards “–”. “ ” appears and blinks.

4)Press MENU/BRIGHT. Focus adjustment is complete.

To reset to Auto Focus, press FOCUS (3) twice or set the Power Switch to “ ”.

If FOCUS (3) is pressed once, the camcorder will enter the focus adjustment mode again.

NOTES:

●Be sure to focus the lens in the maximum telephoto position 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.
