Advanced Recording
MF/AF (Manual Focus/Auto Focus)
The MF/AF function works in the CAMERAmode only.
In most situations, it is better to use the Automatic Focus feature, as it enables you to concentrate on
the creative side of your recording.
Manual focusing may be necessary under certain conditions that make automatic focusing inadequate.

Auto Focusing

The AF (Auto Focus) mode is set automatically when you switch on the Power switch.
If you are inexperienced with camcorders, we recommend that you use the Auto Focus mode.

Manual Focusing

In the following situations, you should obtain better results
by adjusting the focus manually.
a. Apicture containing several objects, some close to
the camcorder, others further away.
b. Aperson enveloped in fog or surrounded by snow.
c. Very shiny or glossy surfaces like a car.
d. People or objects moving constantly or quickly, such as
an athlete or crowd.
1. Set the power switch to CAMERAmode.
2. Press the MF button.
3. Zoom in the subject to be recorded by pushing the ZOOM tab
to the T side.
