Hitachi VM-E530A - Using Auto Focus

Using Auto Focus
The camcorder focuses the subject in the center of the viewfinder automatically unless the manual focus
is engaged. If "FOCUS" appears in the viewfinder, manual focus is engaged. Press the FOCUS control
buttons simultaneously to return to auto focus.
The auto focus will not work under the following conditions and you must focus manually:
Objects outside the center of
the viewfinder
Objects at different distances
in the center of the view¬
finder
Brightly lit objects such as a
neon light, objects lit by spot¬
light, etc.
Objects with little difference
in light reflection such as a
white wall
Rapidly moving objects
Dark objects
Objects behind water
dappled or dusty glass
Note: With the I zoom control you can use the
auto focus with subjects that are 3.3 feet
(100 cm) away from the lens and further away
to infinity. With the W zoom control you can
use the auto focus with subjects 3/8 inches
(1cm) away from the lens and further away to
infinity.
