z Tips
For focusing manually
• It is easier to focus on the subject when you use
the zoom function. Move the power zoom lever
towards T (telephoto) to adjust the focus, and
then, towards W (wide angle) to adjust the zoom
for recording.
• When you want to record a close-up image of a
subject, move the power zoom lever towards W
(wide angle) to fully magnify the image, then
adjust the focus.
To restore automatic adjustment
Set the FOCUS switch B to AUTO.
9 disappears and the automatic focus
adjustment is restored.
Record the subject while pressing and
holding the PUSH AUTO button C.
If you release the button, the setting returns
to manual focusing.
Use this function to shift the focus on one
subject to another. The scenes will shift
smoothly.

not be displayed correctly if you are using a
conversion lens (optional)).

and 9 appears on the screen
