The Auto Focus/Manual Focus function works in both Camera and M.Cam modes.

In most situations, it is better to use the automatic focus feature, as it enables you to concentrate 
on the creative side of your recording.

Manual focusing may be necessary under certain conditions that make automatic
focusing difficult and/or unreliable.

Manual Focus can be set in the Quick Menu.

If you are inexperienced in the use of Camcorders, we recommend that you make use
of Auto Focus.

In the following situations, you may obtain better results by adjusting the focus
manually.

a. A picture containing several objects, some close to the Camcorder, others further away.
b. A person enveloped in fog or surrounded by snow.
c. Very shiny or glossy surfaces like a car.
d. People or objects moving constantly or quickly like an athlete or a crowd.
