Using Auto Focus

The camera/recorder focuses the subject in the center of the viewfinder automatically unless the manual focus is engaged. With the VM-E55A, if appears in the viewfinder, manual focus is engaged. Press the FOCUS control (AUTO/MAN) buttons simultaneously to return to auto focus.

The auto focus will not work under the following conditions and you must focus manually:

Objects outside the center of the viewfinder

Objects at different distances in the center of the viewfinder

Brightly lit objects such as a neon light, objects lit by spotlight, etc.

Objects behind water dappled or dusty glass
