CAMERA SETUP

* Option available only when the drive mode is set to [ SINGLE].

[D.ZOOM]: Determines the operation of the

digital zoom. The color of the indicator

indicates the zoom.

• When activated, the camcorder will switch

automatically to the digital zoom when you

zoom in beyond the optical zoom range.

• With the digital zoom the image is digitally

processed, so the image resolution will

deteriorate the more you zoom in.

[AF MODE]: Select how fast the autofocus

will operate.

• With [ INSTANT AF] the autofocus adjusts quickly to a new subject. This is

convenient for example when changing the focus from a near subject to a far subject in

the background, or when recording fast-moving subjects.

• When the optional Wide-converter or Tele-converter is attached to the camcorder, it may

partially obstruct the Instant AF sensor. Set the AF mode to [ NORMAL AF].
