 About the focusing frame:
This camcorder uses the 9-point artificial intelligence autofocus (9-point AiAF)
that will automatically select the best focusing frames out of nine available,
allowing you to focus on subjects even if they are not in the center of the picture
(

 If the subject is not suitable for autofocus, turns yellow. Keep the PHOTO
button pressed halfway and adjust the focus manually with the omni selector
(
).
 In step 5 above, the image may appear out of focus for a moment while the
camcorder is focusing.
Before using a memory card for the first time, be sure to initialize it with this camcorder
(
