CAMERA MENU

FOCUS
If correct focus cannot be obtained with AUTO
FOCUS, set to MANU to use manual focusing.
“” appears.
To focus on a farther subject, rotate the MENU
Wheel 1 upward. “
1
” appears and blinks.
To focus on a nearer subject, rotate the MENU
Wheel 1 downward. “
4
” appears and blinking.
•If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate
focusing is not possible.
•When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom
out first ( pg. 13, “Zooming”). If zoomed in in
the auto focus mode, the camcorder could
automatically zoom out depending on the
distance between the camcorder and the subject.
This does not occur with “TELE MACRO”
( pg. 22) in SYSTEM MENU.
•Be sure to focus the lens in the maximum
telephoto position when you use the Manual
Focus mode. If you focus in on a certain subject
in the wide-angle position, sharply focused
images cannot be obtained when zoomed in
because the depth-of-field is reduced at longer
focal lengths.
•When the focus level cannot be adjusted any
farther or closer, “” or “ ” will blink.
EXPOSURE
Manual exposure adjustment is recommended in
the following situations:
•When shooting using reverse lighting or when the
background is too bright.
•When shooting on a reflective natural background
such as at the beach or when skiing.
•When the background is overly dark or the
subject light.
To brighten the image, rotate the MENU Wheel
1 downward.
To darken the image, rotate the MENU Wheel 1
upward.
The exposure control level increases/decreases
(maximum ±06).
