ª Focus
Auto Focus Adjustment The Auto Focus System automatically moves forward and backward the focusing lens inside the Movie Camera to bring the subject into focus so that the subject can be seen clearly. However, the Auto Focus System does not function properly for the following subjects or under the following recording conditions. Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead. 1) Recording a subject whose one end is located closer to the Movie Camera and the other end farther away from it �Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at the centre of an image, it may be impossible to focus on a subject that is located in both foreground and background. 2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty glass �Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the subject behind the glass will not be focused. 3) Recording a subject in dark surroundings �Because the light information that comes through the lens decreases considerably, the Movie Camera cannot focus correctly. 4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by objects with glossy surfaces or by highly reflective objects �Because the Movie Camera focuses on the objects with glossy surfaces or on highly reflective objects, the recording subject may become blurry. 5) Recording a fast-moving subject �Because the focus lens-inside moves mechanically, it cannot keep up with the fast-moving subject. 6) Recording a subject with little contrast �Because the Movie Camera achieves focus based upon the vertical lines of an image, a subject with little contrast, such as a white wall, may become blurry.
