Note: With the T zoom control you can use the auto focus with subjects that are 3.3 feet (100 cm) away from the lens and further away to infinity. With the W zoom control you can use the auto focus with subjects 3/8 inches (I cm) away from the lens and further away to infinity.
Using Manual Focus
1 Press the FOCUS/VOL. control buttons simultaneously. "FOCUS" displays in the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor. You can adjust the focus manually.
2 Use the power zoom T control to zoom up completely to your subject. If you don't use the T control to zoom to the picture you want, the picture may fall out of focus when actual recording starts.
3 Press the FOCUS/VOL. control 
(far) or 
(near) button until the subject is in focus.
4 Use the power zoom W control to zoom back to the picture you desire.
