MF/AF (Manual Focus/Auto Focus)

The MF/AF function works in the CAMERA mode only.
In most situations, it is better to use the Automatic Focus feature, as it enables you to concentrate on
the creative side of your recording.
Manual focusing may be necessary under certain conditions that make automatic focusing inadequate.
Auto Focusing
The AF (Auto Focus) mode is set automatically when you switch on the Power switch.
If you are inexperienced with camcorders, we recommend that you use the Auto Focus mode.
Manual Focusing
In the following situations, you should obtain better results by adjusting the focus manually.
a. A picture containing several objects, some close to
the camcorder, others further away.
b. A person enveloped in fog or surrounded by snow.
c. Very shiny or glossy surfaces like a car.
d. People or objects moving constantly or quickly like
an athlete or crowd.
1. Set the power switch to CAMERA mode. (see page 22)
2. Press the MF button.
3. Zoom in the subject to be recorded by pushing
the ZOOM tab to the "T" side.
