Auto Focus

The Camcorder’s Auto Focus feature is designed to

focus on most types of subjects. In Auto Focus mode,

the Camcorder automatically focuses on whatever is

in the center of the scene. Therefore, always keep the

subject in the center of the monitor screen.

Notes

• If no subject is in the center of the monitor screen,

the focus area will expand and the Camcorder will

focus on the subject nearest the center.

• If no subject is displayed on the monitor screen,

the Camcorder will automatically zoom out until

some subject comes into the monitor screen.

Auto focus may not be able to focus correctly in the

situations shown in the chart. In such situations, set

the Camcorder to Manual Focus mode and focus

manually.

Using the Manual Focus

1 Press the Power Zoom T button to set the

zoom power to the maximum.

2 Press the FOCUS Far or FOCUS Near

button for 1 second to set Manual Focus

mode. Then press the buttons to focus on

the subject.

3 Press the Power Zoom buttons to frame the

subject as you desire.

snow scene.

through a dirty or wet

same scene.

To Go Back to Auto Focus

Camcorder to Auto Focus mode.

Notes

• While recording in Manual Focus mode, you may

not be able to focus correctly if the subject is within

approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) of the Camcorder. In

such a case, shift the zoom control toward wide

angle, and then try focusing again.

• If you focus on a subject without first setting the

zoom power to the maximum, the subject may go

out of focus when you zoom farther in on it later.

• If the lens is dirty or fogged, you may not be able to

obtain correct focus.
