Note
The minimum possible distance between this product and subject while maintaining sharp
focus is about 1 cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide angle and about 80 cm (about 31 1/2 in.) for
telephoto.
Hint
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.
This product displays the focal distance information for a few seconds when [Focus] is set
to [Manual] or when you set the focus manually. You can use this information as a guide
when the subject is dark and focus adjustment is difficult.

image.
