Adjusting the Focus

This camcorder features 4 methods for adjusting the focus. When you

use full manual focus or manual focus, you can use the peaking and

magnification functions to help you focus more accurately.

Full manual focus (FULL MF): Use the focus ring to adjust the focus. The

focus ring is non-perpetual (the ring has physical stops) and you can use

the ring’s distance indicator. You can focus from 1 m (3.3 ft.) to f

throughout the entire zoom range.

Manual focus (MF): Use the focus ring to adjust the focus. The focus ring

is perpetual (the ring has no physical stops) and you cannot use the ring’s

distance indicator.

Autofocus (AF): The camcorder continuously adjusts the focus

automatically. When using autofocus, you can select either Instant AF or

Normal AF mode. You can also use the focus ring (with no physical

stops).

Push AF (PUSH AF): When you are using MF or Normal AF, you can

switch the focus to Instant AF while you keep the PUSH AF button

pressed down.

In manual focus, autofocus and Push AF modes, you can set the

[l Camera Setup] [Focus Limit] setting (0 61) to [Off] to focus from

2 cm (0.8 in.; at full wide angle) to f. If you set it to [On], the focus range

will be 1 m (3.3 ft.) to f throughout the entire zoom range.

Full Manual Focus Mode

When you use full manual focus mode, you can adjust the focus manually

using only the focus ring. Because the focus ring is non-perpetual, you

can easily know where the macro and infinity ends are. Additionally, the

focus ring indicates the approximate distance to the subject.

1 Press the PUSH button (unlock focus mode ring button) on the

focus mode ring and turn the ring toward FULL MF.

• [MF] appears on the bottom left of the screen.

2 Zoom in to full telephoto.
