Manually Focusing Subject
The DVD Palmcorder measures the distance to a subject viewed at the center of screen and automatically
focuses on it. If it is difficult to automatically focus the subject, adjust the focus manually.
Focusing During Recording
This DVD Palmcorder automatically focuses a subject at the center of screen (auto-focus).
When the DVD Palmcorder is turned on, auto-focus will always be set.
Focusing range
You can switch the display mode of on-screen information:
On T (tele) side: approximately 3.6 feet (1 m) from lens surface to infinity
On W (wide) side: approximately 13/16” (2 cm) from lens surface to infinity
1 Press the FOCUS button during recording.
“MF” will appear on the screen.
2 Press the zoom lever down to “T” control side to
zoom in on subject.
3 Use the buttons to adjust the focus, while
viewing the image in the viewfinder or on the
LCD screen.
Note:
Pressing FOCUS will alternate between manual focus
and auto focus. With auto focus, no indication will appear
on the screen.
Be sure to zoom in on your subject before manually
focusing on it. If you bring the subject into focus at the “W”
control side, focus will be faulty when you turn the zoom
lever to the “T” control side to zoom in on the subject.
Manual focus setting will be stored in memory even when
the DVD Palmcorder is turned off.
