Focusing

Auto Focus

The camcorder’s Full Range AF system offers continuous shooting ability from close-up to infinity. However, correct focus may not be obtainable in the situations listed below (in these cases use manual focusing): •When two subjects overlap in the same scene. •When illumination is low.*

•When the subject has no contrast (difference in brightness and darkness), such as a flat, one-color wall, or a clear, blue sky.*

•When a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.* •When the scene contains minute patterns or identical

patterns that are regularly repeated.

•When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light reflecting off the surface of a body of water.

•When shooting a scene with a high-contrast background.

*The low-contrast warning “” appears.

NOTES:

●If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate focusing is not possible. Keep the lens clean, wiping with a piece of soft cloth if it gets dirty. When condensation occurs, wipe with a soft cloth or wait for it to dry naturally.

●When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom-out first (☞ pg. 22). If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder could automatically zoom out depend-

ing on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. When Tele Macro (☞ pg. 34) is activated, the camcorder will not zoom out automatically.
