•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 (distance at which the subject is focused on, if it is dark and focus adjustment is difficult) appears for a few seconds in the following cases (This information will not display correctly if an optional conversion lens is being used).

–when the focus mode is switched from automatic to manual
