152 Additional Information
[Digital Zoom]: Determines the
operation of the digital zoom.
The color of the indicator indi-
cates the zoom.
• When activated, the cam-
corder will switch automatically
to digital zoom when you zoom
in beyond the optical zoom
range.
• With the digital zoom the
image is digitally processed, so
the image resolution will deteri-
orate the more you zoom in.
[AF Mode]: Select how fast the autofocus will operate.
•With [R Instant AF] the autofocus adjusts quickly to a new subject.
This is convenient for example when changing the focus from a near
subject to a far subject in the background, or when recording moving
subjects.
• When the optional Wide-converter or Tele-converter is attached to the
camcorder, it may partially obstruct the Instant AF sensor. Set the AF
mode to [S Normal AF].
• When the recording program is set to [r Underwater] or [s Surface],
the AF mode is automatically set to [S Normal AF].
[Focus Priority]: When the focus priority is activated, the camcorder
records a photo only after the focus has been adjusted automatically. You
can also select which AF frames to use.
[U AiAF Frames]: One or more AF frames out of the nine frames avail-
able are automatically selected and the focus is fixed on them.
[W Center Frame]: A single focusing frame appears in the center of the
screen and the focus is automatically fixed on it.
[B Off]: No AF frame will appear and the photo will be recorded imme-
diately after you press j.
• When the recording program is set to [M Fireworks], focus priority is
automatically set to [B Off].
• When focus priority is activated, if face detection (0 66) is also acti-
vated, the camcorder will focus on the face of the main subject (white
face-detection frame) when one is detected.
[Focus Assistance]: When focus assistance is activated, the image at the
center of the screen is magnified to help you focus manually (0 74).
