Advanced Shooting
MF/AF (Manual Focus/Auto Focus)
The MF/AF function works only in CAMERA mode. In most situations, it is better to use the Automatic Focus feature, as it enables you to concentrate on the creative side of your shooting. Manual focusing may be necessary under certain conditions that make automatic focusing inadequate. Auto Focusing The AF (Auto Focus) mode is set automatically when you switch on the Power switch. If you are inexperienced with camcorders, we recommend that you use the Auto Focus mode. Manual Focusing In the following situations, you should obtain better results by adjusting the focus manually. Apicture containing several objects, some close to the camcorder, others further away. Aperson enveloped in fog or surrounded by snow. Very shiny or glossy surfaces like a car. People or objects moving constantly or quickly like an athlete or crowd. Zoom in on the subject to be shot by pushing the ZOOM tab to the "T" side. 36

4. Turn the UP/DOWN dial up or down until the object is focused. If you can't get a sharp picture, zoom out until you can. To return to AF(Auto Focus), press the MF button again. Note: The MF function will not operate in EASY mode. [. . . ] (see page 58) x A mechanical fault may have occurred. (see page 64) x The contrast between the subject and the background is too great for the camcorder to operate normally. Make the background bright to reduce the contrast or use the BLC function while you are shooting. (see page 37) x It is recommended that you use the VIEWFINDER when shooting in bright sunlight.
