Adjusting the Focus
Options
Push AF
During manual focus mode or Normal AF mode, press the PUSH
AF button and hold it pressed down.
The autofocus (Instant AF mode) is activated as long as you hold the
PUSH AF button pressed down. You can also use the PUSH AF button
on the optional ZR-2000 Zoom Remote Controller.
NOTES
When recording in bright surroundings, the camcorder closes down the
aperture. This may cause the picture to appear blurred and is more
noticeable toward the wide-angle end of the zoom range. Turn the
built-in ND filter on/off according to the screen display (0 72).
When you attach the optional WA-H82 Wide Attachment to the
camcorder, Instant AF and PUSH AF are not available.
Autofocus takes longer to focus when the frame rate is set to [30P] or
[24P] than when it is set to [60i].
When recording under dark conditions, the focusing range narrows and
the picture may appear blurred.
Autofocus may not work well on the following subjects or in the
following cases. In such case, focus manually.
- Reflective surfaces
- Subjects with low contrast or without vertical lines
- Fast moving subjects
- Through dirty or wet windows
- Night scenes
[Instant]: Sets the autofocus mode to Instant AF. The focus is adjusted at
the highest speed. This mode is useful even when recording in
very bright or low-light surroundings. This mode uses both the
TTL system and external sensor for focusing.
[Normal]: Sets the autofocus mode to Normal AF. The autofocus
adjustment is made at a stable speed.
