Adjusting The Focus; Manual Focus - Canon VIXIA GX10 Instruction Manual

Adjusting the Focus

The camcorder offers the following 3 ways to focus. You can also adjust the focus remotely using Browser
Remote on a connected network device (A 111, 117).
Manual focus: Turn the focus/zoom ring to adjust the focus manually. You can use the focus assistance functions
(A 46) to help you focus more accurately when using the manual focus.
AF-Boosted MF: Focus manually most of the way and let the camcorder finish focusing automatically.
Continuous AF: The camcorder continuously focuses on the subject inside the AF frame.

Manual Focus

Use the focus/zoom ring to focus manually. With the [v Camera Setup] > [Focus Ring Direction] and [Focus
Ring Response] settings, you can adjust the direction and responsiveness of the focus/zoom ring when it is used
to adjust the focus.
Operating modes:
1 Set the focus/zoom ring switch to FOCUS.
2 Activate the manual focus.
[FUNC] > [< Focus] > [n Manual]
• Alternatively, you can press the AF/MF button to switch
between autofocus and manual focus without using the FUNC
menu. When D appears on the screen, skip to step 5.
3 You can touch a subject inside the frame to focus on it
automatically.
• The Touch AF mark (I) will flash and the camcorder will focus
automatically. You can then continue to focus manually from the
selected point.
• When you adjust the focus, the current approximate focusing
distance will appear inside the focus frame.
4 Touch [X].
5 Turn the focus/zoom ring to focus.
NOTES NOTES
• If you operate the zoom after focusing, the focus on the subject may be lost.
• If you focus manually and then leave the camcorder with the power turned on, the focus on the subject may
be lost after a while. This possible slight shift in focus is a result of the internal temperature rising. Check the
focus before resuming shooting.
