If you set “Zoom Speed (High/Low)” of the
CAMERA SET menu to a value between 0 and 7
for a low speed, zooming may not operate
smoothly, depending on the individual
characteristics of the lens or operating
environments.
When adjusting with the ZOOM button of
the IR Remote Commander
The zooming speed depends on the “Remote”
setting (default: 50) of “Zoom Speed” of the
CAMERA SET menu.
Note
If you set “Zoom Speed (Remote)” of the
CAMERA SET menu to a value between 0 and 7
for a low speed, zooming may not operate
smoothly, depending on the individual
characteristics of the lens or operating
environments.
To use the IR Remote Commander, see “Using the IR
Remote Commander” on page 40.
When using a lens remote controller
Zooming can also be controlled from an optional
lens remote controller connected via the LENS
REMOTE connector.
For operation of the optional lens remote controller,
refer to the operation guide of the lens remote
controller.
You can select any of three modes for focus
adjustments on the supplied lens.
Full MF (Full Manual Focus) mode
Only adjustment with the focus ring is effective in
this mode.
You can adjust the focus from
∞
to the minimum
length by rotating the ring. The ring rotates
endlessly in the both directions.
MF (Manual Focus) mode
In this mode, auto focus can be temporarily
activated by pushing the PUSH AF button.
The MF Assist function can be used for
assistance.
AF (Auto Focus) mode
Auto focus functions continuously in this mode.
The focus ring and the PUSH AF button can also
be used.
Note
The infinity position has some margin to
compensate for focus change caused by variation
in ambient temperature. When shooting an image
at infinity in MF or Full MF mode, adjust the
focus while observing the image in the
viewfinder.
Pull the focus ring rearward (toward the
camcorder body) to set the camcorder to Full MF
mode. Focus can only be adjusted with the focus
ring manually.
Note
The focus instantly moves to the range index
position when you pull the focus ring rearward.
