[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-mov- ing 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].

[Focus Priority]: When the focus priority is activated, the camcorder records a photo only after the focus has been adjusted automatically. You can also select which AF frames to use.

[ AiAF Frames]: One or more AF frames out of the nine frames available are automatically selected and the focus is fixed on them.

[ Center Frame]: A single focusing frame appears in the center of the screen and the focus is automatically fixed on it.

[ Off]: No AF frame will appear and the photo will be recorded immedi- ately after you press PHOTO .

• When the recording mode is set to [ Fireworks], focus priority is auto-matically set to [ Off].

• When focus priority is activated, if face detection ( 72) is also acti- vated, the camcorder will focus on the face of the main subject (white face-detection frame) when one is detected.
