[. . . ] Recording distant and close-up objects at the same time Since the unit focuses on whatever is at the centre of the screen, it is difficult to bring the background into focus when close-up objects are placed in focus. When recording people with distant mountains in the background, you cannot focus on both the subject which is close-up and the objects which are in the distance. Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty window The subject behind the window will not be focused because the focus is on the dirty window. Similarly, when recording something on the opposite side of a road with heavy traffic, a vehicle that happens to pass by may be brought into focus. [. . . ]
