FOCUS You can adjust the focus manually. You can select this function also when you want to focus on a certain subject intentionally. Touch (nearby subject)/ (distant subject) to adjust the focus. To adjust the focus automatically, touch [AUTO]. Notes When you set [FOCUS] to [MANUAL], appears. The minimum possible distance between camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is about 1 cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide angle and about 80 cm (about 31 1/2 in.) for telephoto. Tips appears when the focus cannot be adjusted any closer, and appears when the focus cannot be adjusted farther away. 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 (distance at which the subject is focused on; used as a guide if it is dark and focus adjustment is difficult) appears for a few seconds in the following cases. (This information will not display correctly if a conversion lens (sold separately) is being used.) When the focus mode is switched from automatic to manual When you set focus manually TELE MACRO This is useful to shoot small subjects, such as flowers or insects. You can blur out backgrounds and the subject stands out clearer. OFF Cancels TELE MACRO. (TELE MACRO is also canceled when you move the zoom lever to the W side.) ON ( ) The zoom (p. 24) moves to the top of the T (telephoto) side automatically and allows recording subjects at a close distance down to about 25 cm (about 9 7/8 in.). Notes When recording a distant subject, focusing may be difficult and can take some time. Adjust the focus manually ([FOCUS], p. 69) when it is hard to focus automatically. GOLF SHOT Divides 2 seconds of fast movement into frames which are then recorded as a movie and photos. You can view a series of movement when playing back, which is convenient in cases such as checking golf swing or tennis form. US 69 Customizing your camcorder
