Useful Features for Camera Recording

Auto Focus

The Camcorder’s Auto Focus feature is designed to focus on most types of subjects. In Auto Focus mode, the Camcorder automatically focuses on whatever is in the center of the scene. Therefore, always keep the subject in the center of the monitor screen.

Notes

∙If no subject is in the center of the monitor screen, the focus area will expand and the Camcorder will focus on the subject nearest the center.

∙If no subject is displayed on the monitor screen, the Camcorder will automatically zoom out until some subject comes into the monitor screen.

Auto focus may not be able to focus correctly in the situations shown in the chart. In such situations, set the Camcorder to Manual Focus mode and focus manually.

Notes

∙While recording in Manual Focus mode, you may not be able to focus correctly if the subject is within approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) of the Camcorder. In such a case, shift the zoom control toward wide angle, and then try focusing again.

∙If you focus on a subject without first setting the zoom power to the maximum, the subject may go out of focus when you zoom farther in on it later.

∙If the lens is dirty or fogged, you may not be able to obtain correct focus.
