You can adjust the focus manually. You can select this function also when you want to focus on a certain subject intentionally.

1Touch [MANUAL].

9appears.

2Touch (focusing on close subjects)/

(focusing on distant subjects) to sharpen the focus. appears when the focus cannot be adjusted any closer, and appears when the focus cannot be adjusted farther away.

3Touch .

To adjust the focus automatically, touch [AUTO] t in step 1.

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 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.

The setting returns to [AUTO] when you set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG) for more than 12 hours.

You can also adjust the focus manually using the camera control ring (p. 39).
