Description
Auto
: In most situations, it is better to use the automatic focus
feature, as it lets you concentrate on the creative side of your
recording.
Manual
: You may need to focus manually under conditions
in which automatic focusing is difficult or unreliable. To adjust
the focus, place and hold your finger on the
for a nearer
subject, and on the
tab for a farther subject. The nearer or
farther icon ( /
) appears when focus adjustment reaches
the end. The camcorder applies the adjusted value right after you
touch the
or
tab.
• The Auto Focus (AF) setting is useful when you operate the zoom
function because you might not be able to keep accurate focus after
the zoom ratio has been changed.
• When the camcorder exits from Manual mode or switches to the
photo recording mode, the Focus function is automatically set to
Auto
.
