Macro Focus

The macro-focus feature lets you focus on objects as close as 3/8 of an inch from the
camcorder lens.

1. Press and hold zoom button “W” until

the lens is completely zoomed out.

2. Position the subject in the center of the

viewfinder.

Notes: Zooming is not possible when using
macro focus. To change the size of the
subject, move the camcorder’s lens closer or
farther away from it.

For best results, increase illumination when
recording using macro focus.

Auto Focus

The camcorder will focus on the subject in the center of the viewfinder.

Auto focus operates on the telephoto “T” side from approximately 3.6 feet to infinity
and on the wide-angle “W” side 3/8 of an inch from the lens surface to infinity.

The following conditions may prevent auto focus from operating properly.

When DISPLAY is pressed, the AE
