Auto Focus

The camcorder is preset to Auto Focus mode,
which is designed to focus on most types of
subjects. In Auto Focus mode, the camcorder
automatically focuses on whatever is in the
centre of the scene. Always keep the subject in
the centre of the scene.
Notes:
• If no subject is in the centre of the scene, the
focus area will expand and the subject nearest
the centre will be focused on.
• If no subject is displayed, the camcorder will
automatically zoom out until a subject comes
into the frame.
• Auto Focus may not work in the situations
described on page 49. In these situations, use
the manual focus function.

Macro Shots

This camcorder lets you shoot close-up images
of small objects such as flowers and insects, or
make title frames for your videos. When you
want to record a magnified image of a subject
which is within approximately 1.5 m of the
camcorder, do not zoom in on it. Instead, zoom
out all the way by pressing the Power Zoom W
button, and then move the camcorder closer to
the subject until you obtain the desired angle of
view. The camcorder will automatically focus on
the subject when the lens is set for the widest
angle.

Notes:
• When you are recording a macro shot, be sure
that the subject receives sufficient illumination.
• It is recommended that you use a tripod for
recording macro shots, to prevent image shaking.
