Focusing
The camcorder adjusts focus automatically under normal conditions.
You might need to focus manually under certain conditions.
Auto Focus
During auto focus the camcorder
focuses on the object located in the
center area of the viewfinder.
• Set the AE dial to AUTO to turn on
the auto focus feature. No focus
indicator appears in the viewfinder.
Notes: The low-contrast indicator
(
) in the viewfinder indicates
the auto-focus system might not
operate correctly due to low illumina-
tion, low or no contrast, repeated
patterns, or two subjects at different
distances overlapping.
Use tele macro zooming when
recording a subject close to the
lens or the camcorder may
zoom out to focus.
The lens must be clean for the cam-
corder to focus accurately.
Manual Focus
You might need to focus manually under
certain conditions.
1. Set the POWER switch to CAMERA, and
make sure the AE dial is not set to AUTO.
2. Press zoom button T to zoom in on the
subject and center the subject in the
viewfinder.
3. Press the MENU dial in to display the
main MENU in the viewfinder.
