During auto focus the camcorder will
focus automatically and the auto-focus
detection frame will appear in the center
of the viewfinder. The area within the
detection frame is used to detect focus.
Center the object that you want the
camcorder to focus on in this frame.
The auto-focus system may be used for
recording subjects very close to the
camcorder. Increased illumination may
produce better results.
1. Press the power zoom button labeled
"w" until the lens is completely
zoomed out.
l
Press the AUTO button to turn on the
auto feature. Manual focus will not
operate.
2. Position the subject or scene in the
center of the viewfinder.
l
Press the FOCUS button to switch
between automatic and manual focus.
Notes: The low-contrast indicator (iki)
in the viewfinder indicates the auto-focus
system may not operate correctly due to low
illumination, low or no contrast, repeated
patterns, or two subjects at different
distances overlapping. Focus the camcorder
manually.
If the camcorder has been zoomed in on the
subject and the auto-focus system cannot
achieve proper focus, the camcorder will
automatically zoom out. This may allow the
focus system to focus properly. If proper
focus still cannot be achieved, adjust the
focus manually.
