Notes:
•When recording in the 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 in wide angle and then set the zoom to maximum, the subject may go out of focus. (First focus on the subject at maximum zoom setting and then shoot at the desired zoom setting.)
•If the lens is dirty or fogged, you may not be able to obtain correct focus.
