Manually Focusing Subject
The DVD video camera/recorder usually focuses on a subject automatically (autofocus). You can also
manually focus a subject depending on the recording conditions.
FOCUSING DURING RECORDING
Normally, the DVD video camera/recorder automatically focuses the subject (autofocus), but you
can also manually focus a subject, depending on the recording conditions (manual focus).
Focusing range:
You can switch the display mode of on-screen information:
•
On T (tele) side: approximately 3.2 feet (1 m) from lens surface to infinity
• On W (wide) side: approximately 13/16” (2 cm) from lens surface to infinity

while viewing the image in the viewfinder or
on the LCD screen.
Note :
• Pressing FOCUS will alternate between manual focus
and auto focus. With auto focus, no indication will
appear on the screen.
• Be sure to zoom in on your subject before manually
focusing on it. If you bring the subject into focus at the
“W” control side, focus will be faulty when you turn the
zoom lever to the “T” control side to zoom in on the
subject.

camera/recorder is turned off. When you turn the DVD
video camera/recorder on next time, auto focus will be
