The Advanced Focus Assistance System (AF System) is a new autofocus system for 4K-TV cameras.
In the 4K-TV system, even though the blur of the subject is not detected on the viewfinder of the camera, it can be
recognized if it is displayed on a larger display. For that subject, the AF System automatically find the best focus
actively. Since the AF System works actively, the best focus is continuously maintained even if the subject is moving.
Note. In the case the blur amount of the subject in the AF frame is relatively large, the AF System will not find the
best focus.
In that case, manually move the focus to a position nearer the best focus; or temporarily move the zoom to
the side of wider-angle so that the image of the subject is sharpened, and then resume the former zoom
position.
If the amount of blur is decreased, the AF System automatically works to find the best focus.
