camcorder and the subject while maintaining
sharp focus is about 1 cm (about 13/32 in.) for

for telephoto.
z Tips
• It is easier to focus on the subject by moving the
power zoom lever towards T (telephoto) to
adjust the focus, then towards W (wide angle) to
adjust the zoom for recording. When you want
to record a subject at close range, move the
power zoom lever to W (wide angle), then
adjust the focus.
• The focal distance information (the distance at
which the subject is focused on, for when it is
dark and hard to adjust focus) appears for a few
seconds in the following cases. (It will not be
displayed correctly if you are using a conversion
lens (optional).)

automatic to manual.
– When you set focus manually.
