AUTO FOCUS
The camcorder’s Full Range AF system offers continuous
shooting ability from close-up (as close as approx. 5 cm
(2”) to the subject) to infinity. However, correct focus may
not be obtainable in the situations listed below (in these
cases use manual focusing):
• When two subjects overlap in the same scene.
•When illumination is low.
*
• When the subject has no contrast (difference in bright-
ness and darkness), such as a flat, one-color wall, or a
clear, blue sky.
*
•When a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.
*
• When the scene contains minute patterns or identical
patterns that are regularly repeated.
• When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light
reflecting off the surface of a body of water.
• When shooting a scene with a high-contrast
background.
*
The following low-contrast warnings appear blinking:

NOTES:
If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate focusing is not
possible. Keep the lens clean, wiping with a piece of soft
cloth if it gets dirty. When condensation occurs, wipe
with a soft cloth or wait for it to dry naturally.
When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom-out first
(
