Adjusting the Focus

NOTES

• If the focus mode switch on the EF lens is set to MF, you will not be able control the focus through remote

operation. Depending on the lens used, remote operation may not work correctly.

• If you operate the zoom after focusing, the focus on the subject may be lost.

• If you focus manually and then leave the camcorder with the power turned on, the focus on the subject may

be lost after a while. This possible slight shift in focus is a result of the internal temperature rising in the

camcorder and lens. Check the focus before resuming shooting.

• While the camcorder is focusing, do not touch the end of the lens or focus ring while they are moving.

Using the Focus Assistance Functions

In order to focus more accurately, you can use two focus assistance functions – peaking, which creates a clearer

contrast by emphasizing the outlines of the subject, and magnification, which enlarges the image on the screen.

You can use both functions simultaneously for greater effect.

You can also use the [w Other Functions] > [Custom Function] > [F. Assist. B&W] setting (A 123) to switch

the screen to black & white while using the focus assistance functions.

The camcorder offers two peaking levels.

1 Press the PEAKING button.

• The peaking icon (J or K) appears at the lower center of

the screen and the outlines in the image will be emphasized,

depending on the focus.

• Press the button again to turn off peaking.

• Alternatively, you can use the [£ LCD/VF Setup] > [Peaking]

setting to turn peaking on and off.
