Adjusting the Focus

Using the Focus Assistance Functions

In order to focus more accurately during full manual focus mode or
manual focus mode, you can use two focus assistance functions –
peaking, which creates a clearer contrast by emphasizing the outlines of
the subject, and magnifying, which enlarges the image on the screen. You
can use both functions simultaneously for greater effect.

You can also use the [J Other Functions]

[Custom Function]

[F. Assist. B&W] setting (0 131) to switch the screen to black & white
while using the focus assistance functions.

Peaking

The camcorder offers two peaking levels. Select the level before
activating peaking.

1 Open the [Select] submenu (under [Peaking]) to select the peaking

level.
