Recording Auto Shot™ Feature The camcorder automatically adjusts focus, white balance, iris, shutter speed, and light according to the recording conditions. Auto Focus The camcorder focuses on the subject in the center of the LCD monitor or viewfinder. Auto focus operates on the telephoto (T) side from approximately 2-1/2 feet to infinity. It operates on the wide-angle (W) side from 3/8 inch from the lens surface (macro-focus) to infinity. Note: When the displays appear, the AE indicator for the shutter speed selected by the camcorder (1/60, 1/100, 1/120, 1/180, 1/250, 1/350, 1/500, 1/750, 1/1000, 1/1500, 1/2000, or 1/4000) appears in the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor. The following conditions may prevent auto focus from operating properly. • Recording a subject through a window. • Recording a subject that has a close foreground and a far background. • Recording two subjects at different distances that overlap. • Subject that isn't in center of scene. • Recording in low-light situations. • Recording a scene with fast motions, like a tennis swing. Macro Focus The macro-focus feature lets you focus on objects as close as 3/8 inch from the camcorder lens. 1. Press and hold zoom button W until the lens is completely zoomed out. 2. Position the subject in the center of the scene. Notes: Zooming is not possible when using macro-focus. To change the size of the subject, move the camcorder lens closer or farther away from it. For best results increase illumination when recording with macro-focus. Tape-Remaining Display The tape-remaining display shows the approximate amount of tape remaining for recording or playback. Tape-Remaining Display in LCD Monitor or Viewfinder • Press DISPLAY to display the taperemaining indicator in the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor. • The camcorder takes approximately ten seconds to calculate the tape remaining when you first start playing or recording a tape appears while the camcorder calculates the amount of tape-remaining. Once tape-remaining has been calculated, it automatically updates and is readily available as long as the same tape remains in the camcorder. (Continued on next page) 27
