Adjusting the Focus
About the autofocus (AF) functions:
You can change some aspects of the autofocus function with the following settings.
- > [v Camera Setup] > [AF Speed] to set the AF speed (the speed at which the focus is
adjusted) to one of 3 levels.
- > [v Camera Setup] > [AF Response] to set the responsiveness of the autofocus function to
one of 3 levels.
When recording in bright surroundings, the camcorder closes down the aperture. This may cause the picture
to appear blurred and is more noticeable toward the wide angle end of the zoom range. In such case, select
the or n shooting mode, apply the ND filter (A 70) and adjust the aperture.
Autofocus is not available in the following cases:
-When > [v Camera Setup] > [Conversion Lens] is set to an option other than [j Off].
- When infrared recording is activated.
Autofocus takes slightly longer to focus when the frame rate is set to 25.00P than when it is 50.00P.
When recording under dark conditions, the focusing range narrows and the picture may appear blurred.
While using autofocus, you can turn the focus/zoom ring to focus manually. When you stop turning the ring,
the camcorder returns to autofocus. This is useful in situations such as when focusing on a subject on the
other side of a window.
When the shooting mode is set to [T Fireworks], the focus will be set to and cannot be changed.
Autofocus may not work well on the following subjects or in the following cases. In such case, focus manually.
-When [FUNC] > [Looks] is set to [ Wide DR].
- When subjects at different distances appear in the picture.
