OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
•The effects of camera movement in an image become more pronounced when you record close ups or recording with a large zoom factor. Because of this, use of a tripod is recommended when recording close ups or recording with a large zoom factor.
•Images may be out of focus if the subject is outside the shooting range of the camera.
•Certain types of subjects are difficult to focus (page 65) and may cause blurry images. If this happens, try changing the focus mode to Manual Focus (page 86) or Pan Focus (page 85).
•If images are out of focus when using Auto Focus, you may be able to achieve proper focus by pointing the camera at another subject momentarily.
•Performing zoom, Auto Focus, or other operations during recording can cause operation noise to be recorded in the movie audio. Auto Focus operation noise can be eliminated by selecting Manual Focus (page 86) or Pan Focus (page 85) as the focus mode, because Auto Focus is not performed in these modes.
