A lens that supports auto focus is required. Set the
FOCUS switch
on the camcorder to the
“AUTO” position. If the lens is fitted with a focus
selector switch, set the switch to the “AF/MF” or
“AF” position. If the switch is set to the “Full
MF” or “MF” position, lens focusing cannot be
operated from the camcorder
Temporarily stopping auto focus (Focus
Hold)

when in auto focus mode to override auto focus.
This is useful, for example, when something
crosses in front of the subject that you do not want
to focus on, or when auto focus is lost.
To adjust the focus manually, set the FOCUS
switch
to “MAN.”
This allows you to adjust the focus manually
according to the shooting conditions.
Manual focusing is useful for the following types
of subjects.
- Subjects on the far side of a window covered
in water droplets
- Subjects with low contrast against the
background
- Subjects further away than nearby subjects

you release the button.
This is useful when you want to quickly focus on
a subject before starting to shoot.
