endlessly in the both directions.

MF (Manual Focus) mode

In this mode, auto focus can be temporarily activated by pushing the PUSH AF button. The MF Assist function can be used for assistance.

AF (Auto Focus) mode

Auto focus functions continuously in this mode. The focus ring and the PUSH AF button can also be used.

Note

The infinity position has some margin to compensate for focus change caused by variation in ambient temperature. When shooting an image at infinity in MF or Full MF mode, adjust the focus while observing the image on the LCD monitor/EVF screen.

Adjusting in Full MF Mode

Pull the focus ring rearward (toward the camcorder body) to set the camcorder to Full MF mode. Focus can only be adjusted with the focus ring manually.

Note

The focus instantly moves to the range index position when you pull the focus ring rearward.
