FEATURE: Auto Focus

PURPOSE:

The camcorder’s Full Range AF system offers continuous shooting ability from close-up (as close as approx. 5 cm (2”) 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. 21). 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. 41) 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. 12).

2)Set the Power Switch to “ ” while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch, then press FOCUS/BLANK ( pg. 86 and 87, $ FOCUS/BLANK Button). The manual focus indicator appears.

3)To focus on a farther subject, press +. “ ” appears and blinks. To focus on a nearer subject, press . ” appears and blinks.

4)Press SET/SELECT. Focus adjustment is complete.

To reset to Auto Focus, press FOCUS/BLANK twice or set the Power Switch to “ ”.

If FOCUS/BLANK 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.
