Manually Focusing Subject

The DVD video camera/recorder usually focuses on a subject automatically (autofocus). You can also manually focus a subject depending on the recording conditions.

Note:

•Pressing FOCUS will alternate between manual focus and auto focus. With auto focus, no indication will appear on the screen.

•Be sure to zoom in on your subject before manually focusing on it. If you bring the subject into focus at the “W” control side, focus will be faulty when you turn the zoom lever to the “T” control side to zoom in on the subject.

•Manual focus is released when the DVD video camera/recorder is turned off. When you turn the DVD video camera/recorder on next time, auto focus will be restored.
