the camcorder to AF mode. In this mode, focus is
always adjusted automatically.

Focusing in AF mode
In AF mode the camcorder continuously checks
changes of images and activates auto focusing
each time it detects a change. The auto focus
adjustment is terminated when the subject comes
into focus, and the camcorder stands by until the
next change is detected.
In AF mode, auto focusing is also activated when
you press the PUSH AF button or operate the
focus ring.
When you set the MACRO switch to ON in AF or
MF mode, Macro mode is activated, permitting
you to adjust the focus in a range that includes the
micro area.
The Macro mode is invalid in Full MF mode.
