3 Recording Adjusting the Focus Adjusting the Focus This camcorder features 4 methods for adjusting the focus. When you use full manual focus or manual focus, you can use the peaking and magnification functions to help you focus more accurately. Full manual focus (FULL MF): Use the focus ring to adjust the focus. The focus ring is non-perpetual (the ring has physical stops) and you can use the ring's distance indicator. Manual focus (MF): Use the focus ring to adjust the focus. The focus ring is perpetual (the ring has no physical stops) and you cannot use the ring's distance indicator. Autofocus (AF): The camcorder continuously adjusts the focus automatically. When using autofocus, you can select either Instant AF or Normal AF mode. You can also use the focus ring (with no physical stops). Push AF (PUSH AF): When you are using MF or Normal AF, you can switch the focus to Instant AF while you keep the PUSH AF button pressed down. Operating modes: Full Manual Focus Mode When you use full manual focus mode, you can adjust the focus manually using only the focus ring. Because the focus ring is non-perpetual, you can easily know where the macro and infinity ends are. Additionally, the focus ring indicates the approximate distance to the subject. 1 Press the PUSH button (unlock focus mode ring button) on the focus mode ring and turn the ring toward FULL MF. • [MF] appears on the bottom left of the screen. 2 Zoom in to full telephoto. 54
