MULTI-FUNCTION RECORDING
FOCUS MODES
This camera has autofocus and manual focus control. The focus mode is set in the basic section of
the multi-function recording mode menu (p. 50).
Autofocus will produce excellent results in almost every situation, however, under certain conditions,
the autofocus system will not work accurately; see special focusing situations on page 25. In these
situations the camera can be manually focused.
After setting the camera to the manual focus mode (MF), “ZOOM” and “FOCUS” will appear at the
top of the LCD monitor. Press the center of the controller to switch between the two functions; the
function highlighted in blue is active. With “FOCUS” highlighted, use the up/down keys of the
controller to focus; the approximate focus distance is displayed at the bottom of the monitor next to
the frame counter. All distances are measured from the CCD.
When the focus is set to the minimum focusing distance, as the lens is zoomed, the distance will
change to match the minimum focusing distance at each focal length. Manual focus is not available
when the monitor is turned off. The controller function will automatically switch to the zoom.
Press the controller to switch between focus and
zoom (1). The active function is highlighted in blue
(2).
Use the up/down keys of the
controller to zoom or focus.
