Chapter 1 Overview

a PUSH AF (auto focus) button

When the focus adjustment is in the manual
mode, by pressing this button you can use the auto
focus for an instantaneous adjustment to the
subject.
When the button is pressed, the auto focus
operates until the image is in focus, then
disengages.
Even when the FOCUS switch is set to A (auto),
by pressing this button, you can restart the auto
focus.

bFOCUS switch

A (auto): The auto focus function is constantly
active. Even with the switch in the A
position, you can manually adjust the focus
by operating the focus ring.
M (manual): The manual mode allows focusing
adjustment with the focus ring.
In manual mode, auto focus adjustment is also
possible, by pressing the PUSH AF button.

cMACRO switch

When this switch is in the ON position, the macro
mode is enabled, allowing focusing over the
whole range (5 cm1) to ∞) including the macro
range (from 5 cm1) to 90 c m from the front of the
lens).
This operation is independent of whether the
focus adjustment mode is auto or manual.
In the macro range, the auto focusing speed is
lower.

eZoom ring

For manual zoom adjustment, set the ZOOM
switch to the MANUAL position, then turn this

camcorder), the focus mode becomes Full MF
mode (see page59).
