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 (auto-focus), 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 3.6 feet (1 m) from lens surface to infinity
• On W (wide) side: approximately 13/16" (2 cm) from lens surface to infinity

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

zoom lever to the “T” control side to zoom in on the
subject.
• Manual focus is released when the DVD video camera/
recorder is turned off. When you turn the DVD video
camera/recorder on next time, auto focus will be
