Adjusting the Focus
48
Recording
You can select any of three modes for focus
adjustments.
Full MF (Full Manual Focus) mode
Only adjustment with the focus ring is effective in
this mode.
You can adjust the focus from
∞ to the minimum
length by rotating the ring. The ring rotates
endlessly in the both directions.
MF (Manual Focus) mode
In this mode, auto focus can be temporarily
activated by pushing the PUSH AF button.
The MF Assist function can be used for
assistance.
AF (Auto Focus) mode
Auto focus functions continuously in this mode.
The focus ring and the PUSH AF button can also
be used.
Note
The infinity position has some margin to
compensate for focus change caused by variation
in ambient temperature. When shooting an image
at infinity in MF or Full MF mode, adjust the
focus while observing the image on the LCD
monitor/EVF screen.
Pull the focus ring rearward (toward the
camcorder body) to set the camcorder to Full MF
mode. Focus can only be adjusted with the focus
ring manually.
Note
The focus instantly moves to the range index
position when you pull the focus ring rearward.
Rotate the focus ring for the best focus while
observing the picture on the LCD monitor/EVF
screen.
The range index of the focus ring is effective in
Full MF mode. The distances correspond to the
focus ring positions.
Expanded Focus
When you press the EXPANDED FOCUS
button, the center area of the picture is magnified
on the LCD monitor/EVF screen, making the
focus adjustment easier.
Press the EXPANDED FOCUS button again to
resume the normal angle for recording.
