Focusing
AUTO FOCUS
The camcorder’s Full Range AF system offers continuous
shooting ability from close-up to infinity. However, correct
focus may not be obtainable in the situations listed below
(in these cases use manual focusing):
When two subjects overlap in the same scene.
When illumination is low.*
When the subject has no contrast (difference in bright-
ness and darkness), such as a flat, one-color wall, or a
clear, blue sky.*
When a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.*
When the scene contains minute patterns or identical
patterns that are regularly repeated.
When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light
reflecting off the surface of a body of water.
When shooting a scene with a high-contrast background.
* The low-contrast warning “
” appears.

NOTES:
If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate
focusing is not possible. Keep the lens clean,
wiping with a piece of soft cloth if it gets
dirty. When condensation occurs, wipe with
a soft cloth or wait for it to dry naturally.
When shooting a subject close to the lens,
zoom out first (
Z
pg. 16). If zoomed in in
the auto focus mode, the camcorder could
automatically zoom out depending on the
distance between the camcorder and the
subject. This does not occur with “TELE
MACRO” (
Z
pg. 24).

NOTES:
To return to Auto Focus, select “AUTO” in step 4.
To re-adjust Manual Focus, repeat the procedure from step 2.
Be sure to focus the lens in the maximum telephoto position when you use the Manual Focus mode. If you
focus in on a certain subject in the wide-angle position, sharply focused images cannot be obtained when
zoomed in because the depth-of-field is reduced at longer focal lengths.
When the focus level cannot be adjusted any farther or closer, “ ” or “ ” will blink.
