a PUSH AF (auto focus) button
When the focus adjustment is in the manual
mode, by pressing this button you can use the auto
focus for an instantaneous adjustment to the
subject.
When the button is pressed, the auto focus
operates until the image is in focus, then
disengages.
Even when the FOCUS switch is set to A (auto),
by pressing this button, you can restart the auto
focus.
b FOCUS switch
A (auto): The auto focus function is constantly
active. Even with the switch in the A
position, you can manually adjust the focus
by operating the focus ring.
M (manual): The manual mode allows focusing
adjustment with the focus ring.
In manual mode, auto focus adjustment is also
possible, by pressing the PUSH AF button.
c MACRO switch
When this switch is in the ON position, the macro
mode is enabled, allowing focusing over the
whole range (5 cm
1)
to ∞) including the macro
range (from 5 cm
1)
to 90 cm from the front of the
lens).
This operation is independent of whether the
focus adjustment mode is auto or manual.
In the macro range, the auto focusing speed is
lower.

d Iris ring
For manual iris adjustment, set the IRIS switch to
the M (manual) position, then turn this ring.
e Zoom ring
For manual zoom adjustment, set the ZOOM
switch to the MANUAL position, then turn this
ring.
f Focus ring
Turn this ring to adjust the focus.
This ring can be turned endlessly in both
directions. The faster you turn, the faster the
focusing mechanism operates, to minimize the
amount of turning required for focusing.
When you slide the focus ring back (toward the
camcorder), the focus mode becomes Full MF
mode (see page 56).
g Flange focal length adjustment button
Press this to adjust the flange focal length (the
distance from the lens mounting flange plane to
the focusing plane) (see page 40).
