AUTO FOCUS

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. 16). 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. 24).

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 bright- ness and darkness), such as a flat, one-colour 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.
