MF/AF (Manual Focus/Auto Focus)

The MF/AF function works in 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 difficult
and/or unreliable.

Auto Focusing

If you are inexperienced in the use of camcorders, we recommend that you make
use of Auto Focus.

Manual Focusing

In the following cases you may 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 a crowd.
