Af-Boosted Mf - Canon XA70 Instruction Manual

AF-Boosted MF

With this focus mode, you can focus manually most of the way and let the camcorder finish focusing
automatically. This is very convenient when you want to make certain that your 4K recordings are in sharp focus.
Additionally, with this mode, if the camcorder cannot evaluate how to adjust the focus, it will not perform
unreliable focus adjustments. This results in an overall more stable focusing operation than with continuous AF.
Operating modes:
1 Set the focus/zoom ring switch to FOCUS.
2 Press the AF/MF button to activate the autofocus.
• @ will appear on the left of the screen.
3 Set the AF frame size to [r Large] or [s Small] (A 50).
4 Select [AF Mode].
> [v " Camera Setup] > [AF Mode]
5 Select [ AF-Boosted MF] and then select [X].
• When the focus is in the manual adjustment range, the focus
frame will appear in yellow.
• If necessary, change the size and position of the AF frame
(A 50).
6 Turn the focus/zoom ring to adjust the focus.
• Focus manually to bring the subject closer into focus. When
the focus enters the automatic adjustment range, the focus
frame will turn white and the camcorder will then finish
focusing automatically.
• While the focus stays within the automatic adjustment range, the camcorder will keep the subject in focus
automatically.
