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. 18). If zoomed in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder could automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the

subject. This does not occur with “TELE MACRO” (pg. 24).

Focusing

AUTO FOCUS

The camcorder’s Full Range AF system offers continuous shooting ability from close-up 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 bright- ness and darkness), such as a flat, one-color 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 low-contrast warning “ ” appears

To re-adjust Manual Focus, repeat the procedure from step 2.

Be sure to focus the lens in the maximum telephoto position when you use the Manual Focus mode. If you focus in on a certain subject in the wide-angle position, sharply focused images cannot be obtained when zoomed in because the depth-of-field is reduced at longer focal lengths.

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