Notes
• When you set [FOCUS] to [MANUAL], ® appears.
• The minimum possible distance between camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is about 1
cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide angle and about 80 cm (about 2 5/8 feet) for telephoto.
GTips
• :. appears when the focus cannot be adjusted any closer, and ~ appears when the focus cannot be
adjusted farther away.
• It is easier to focus on the subject by moving the power zoom lever towards T (telephoto) to adjust the
focus, then towards W (wide angle) to adjust the zoom for recording. When you want to record a subject
at close range, move the power zoom lever to W (wide angle), then adjust the focus.
• The focal distance information (distance at which the subject is focused on; used as a guide if it is dark
and focus adjustment is difficult) appears for a few seconds in the following cases. (This information will
not display correctly if a conversion lens (sold separately) is being used.)
- When the focus mode is switched from automatic to manual
