The camcorder’s Full Range AF system offers
continuous shooting ability from close-up (as close
as approx. 5 cm (2”) to the subject) to infinity.
However, correct focus may not be obtainable in the
situations listed below (in these cases perform
“Manual Focus”):
● When two subjects overlap in the same scene.
● When illumination is low.*
● When the subject has no contrast (difference in
brightness and darkness), such as a flat, one-color
wall, or a clear, blue sky.*
● When a dark object is barely visible in the
viewfinder.*
● When the scene contains minute patterns or
identical patterns that are regularly repeated.
● When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light
reflecting off the surface of a body of water.
● When shooting a scene with a high-contrast
background.
* The following low-contrast warnings appear
blinking: , , and
NOTES:
● If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate focusing
is not possible. Keep the lens clean. (墌 pg. 91)
When condensation occurs, wipe with a soft cloth
or wait for it to dry naturally.
● When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom
out first. (墌 pg. 20) If zoomed-in in the auto focus
mode, the camcorder may automatically zoom
out depending on the distance between the
camcorder and the subject. This will not occur
when “TELE MACRO” is set to “ON”.
(墌 pg. 38, 46)
NOTE:
If you are using the viewfinder, you should already
have performed “Viewfinder Adjustment”
(墌 pg. 12).

NOTES:
● Be sure to focus the lens in the maximum
telephoto position when you use the Manual
Focus mode. If you focus in on a subject in the
wide-angle position, sharply focused images
cannot be obtained when zoomed up because the
depth-of-field is reduced at longer focal lengths.
● When the focus level cannot be adjusted any
further or closer, “ ” or “ ” will blink.
