Adjusting the Focus

Adjusting the Focus

The camcorder offers 3 ways to focus. When you use manual focus, you can use focus assistance functions, such as peaking and magnification, to help you focus more accurately.

Autofocus (AF): The camcorder continuously adjusts the focus automatically. When using autofocus, you can one of three levels of AF speed. You can also use the focus ring (with no physical stops).

Manual focus (MF): Adjust the focus manually using the focus ring, or remotely, using the Browser Remote application.

Push AF: While using MF, Normal AF or Medium AF, you can have the camcorder switch temporarily to Instant AF mode as long as you hold the PUSH AF button pressed down.

Autofocus (AF) Mode

The camcorder uses the TTL autofocus system and continuously adjusts the focus on the subject in the center of the screen. The focusing range is 1 cm (0.39 in.; at full wide-angle, measured from the front of the lens barrel) to G.

Even during autofocus mode, you can turn the focus ring to focus manually. When you stop turning the ring, the camcorder returns to autofocus mode. This is useful in situations such as when focusing on a subject on the other side of a window.

Set the FOCUS switch to A.
