When using the automatic functions
p p When using the automatic white balance setting (auto
tracking white adjustment) function under fluorescent
lights, the white balance may vary.
p p In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto
setting. In cases like this, select the manual setting, and
focus manually.
Zooming and focusing
When the focus is set manually, out‑of‑focusing may occur
during zooming.
After zooming, if necessary, either adjust the focus or set the
focus to auto.
When using the focus at the manual setting, proceed with
zooming after setting the focus position at the Tele end
where the focusing accuracy is higher.
(However, if the distance from the unit to the subject is less
than 1 m {3.3 feet}, the subject may shift out of focus at the
Wide end.)
If zooming is performed to the Tele end after having adjusted
the focus at the Wide end, out‑of‑focusing may occur.
Concerning the home position
The 'home position' refers to the position to which the lens
moves first when the unit's power has been turned on.
The home position settings (position, brightness and white
balance) are the same as the preset 5 settings. To change
any of the home position settings, register them in preset 5.
