Note
Zoom operation is guaranteed with the zoom
speed settings from 8 to 99.
To select the operation at the beginning and the
end of zooming
You can select Soft mode for zooming, in which
the zooming speed is gradually increased at the
beginning then gradually decreased for the end.
Use “Zoom Trans” (page 120) of the CAMERA
SET menu.
Note
If “Zoom Speed” is set to a value less than 20, the
operation becomes the same as “Linear,” even
when “Soft” is selected.
When adjusting with the ZOOM button of
the IR Remote Commander
The zooming speed depends on the “Remote”
setting (default: 50) of “Zoom Speed” of the
CAMERA SET menu.

Zoom operation is guaranteed with the zoom
speed settings from 8 to 99.
To use the IR Remote Commander, see “Using the IR

When using a lens remote controller
Zooming can also be controlled from an optional
lens remote controller connected via the LENS
REMOTE connector.
For operation of the optional lens remote controller,
refer to the operation guide of the lens remote
controller.
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.
