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 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 low-contrast warning “” appears in the viewfinder.

Focus Lock

This feature locks the focus in place, which is especially helpful in the following situations:

•When things pass between your subject and the camcorder. Engage the focus lock function to lock your subject in before recording.

•When you want your subject to be focused, and to appear in a corner of the screen. First, centre on the subject and focus using auto focus mode. Then engage the focus lock function and move the camcorder until the subject is where you want it.

SELECT SHOOTING MODE

1 Set the Shooting Mode selector to “PRESET”.

LOCK FOCUS

Press FAR or NEAR. The focus lock indication “” appears in the viewfinder.

RELEASE FOCUS LOCK

Press FAR and NEAR simultaneously. The focus lock indication disappears.

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. 13). If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder could automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. *When Tele Macro is activated, the camcorder will not zoom out automatically.
