•The minimum possible distance between camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is about 1 cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide angle and about 80 cm (about 2 5/8 feet) for telephoto.
zTips
•It is easier to focus on the subject by moving the power zoom lever towards T (telephoto) to adjust the focus, then towards W (wide angle) to adjust the zoom for recording. When you want to record a subject at close range, move the power zoom lever to W (wide angle), then adjust the focus.
•The focal distance information (the distance at which the subject is focused on, for when it is dark and hard to adjust focus) appears for a few seconds in the following cases. (It will not be
displayed correctly if you are using a conversion lens (optional).)
–When the focus mode is switched from automatic to manual.
–When you set focus manually
