As its name suggests, Auto Focus focuses the image automatically. The automatic focus operation starts when you press the shutter button down half way. The following is the Auto Focus range.

Range: Snapshots: 40cm to ∞ (1.3´ to ∞) Movies: 40cm to ∞ (1.3´ to ∞)

• Using optical zoom causes the above ranges to change.

1.Press [￿] () to cycle through the focus mode settings until there is no focus mode indicator on the display.
