Focusing
AUTO FOCUS
The camcorder�s Full Range AF system offers continuous shooting ability from close-up to infinity. However, correct focus may not be obtainable in the situations listed below (in these cases use manual focusing): �When two subjects overlap in the same scene. �When illumination is low.* �When the subject has no contrast (difference in brightness and darkness), such as a flat, one-colour wall, or a clear, blue sky.* �When a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.* �When the scene contains minute patterns or identical patterns that are regularly repeated. �When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light reflecting off the surface of a body of water. �When shooting a scene with a high-contrast background. * The low-contrast warning � � appears

NOTES: � If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate focusing is not possible. Keep the lens clean, wiping with a piece of soft cloth if it gets dirty. When condensation occurs, wipe with a soft cloth or wait for it to dry naturally. � When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out first ( pg. 18). If zoomed in in the auto focus mode, the camcorder could automatically zoom out depending on the distance between the camcorder and the subject. This does not occur with �TELE MACRO� ( pg. 25).

MANUAL FOCUS
Make the necessary viewfinder adjustments to use the viewfinder ( pg. 14).

NOTES: � To return to Auto Focus, select �AUTO� in step 4. � To re-adjust Manual Focus, repeat the procedure from step 2. � Be sure to focus the lens in the maximum telephoto position when you use the Manual Focus mode. If you focus in on a certain subject in the wide-angle position, sharply focused images cannot be obtained when zoomed in because the depth-of-field is reduced at longer focal lengths. � When the focus level cannot be adjusted any farther or closer, � � or � � will blink.
