Adjusting the Focus
57
Record
ing
Rotate the focus ring for the best focus while
observing the picture on the LCD monitor/EVF
screen.
The range index of the focus ring is effective in
Full MF mode. The distances correspond to the
focus ring positions.
Expanded Focus
When you press the EXPANDED FOCUS
button, the center area of the picture is magnified
on the LCD monitor/EVF screen, making the
focus adjustment easier.
Press the EXPANDED FOCUS button again or
leave the focus ring unmoved for 5 seconds to
resume the normal angle for recording.
Peaking
When you press the PEAKING button, the
peaking function is activated. This function
emphasizes the contours of the images on the
LCD monitor/EVF screen, making manual
focusing easier.
This function does not affect recording signals.
The emphasis level and color of the contours can
be set with “Peaking”
of the LCD/VF
SET menu.
Slide the focus ring forward (toward the lens
hood) and set the FOCUS switch to MANUAL to
set the camcorder to MF mode. In this mode, you
can activate Auto Focus only when required.
