Adjusting the Focus
The camcorder offers 3 ways to focus. When you use manual focus, you can use the focus assistance functions,
peaking and magnification, to help you focus more accurately.
Autofocus (AF): The camcorder continuously adjusts the focus automatically. You can also use the focus ring
(with no physical stops).
Manual focus (MF): Adjust the focus manually using the focus ring, the FUNC. menu or remotely, using the
Browser Remote application.
Push AF: While using MF, you can have the camcorder switch temporarily to AF mode as long as you hold the
PUSH AF button pressed down.
Autofocus (AF) Mode
The camcorder uses the TTL autofocus system and continuously adjusts the focus on the subject in the center
of the screen. The focusing range is 8 cm (3.1 in.; at full wide-angle, measured from the front of the lens barrel) to
∞.
Even during autofocus mode, you can turn the focus ring to focus manually. When you stop turning the ring, the
camcorder returns to autofocus mode. This is useful in situations such as when focusing on a subject on the
other side of a window.
Set the FOCUS switch to A.
