You can focus automatically using the autofocus function of your video camera recorder. If it is in wide-angle position (W), the corners of the viewfinder may be dark (eclipse) and the focus will not be clear. In that case, it is easier to find the subject if the zooming is set to the wideangle side (W) a little before recording. When it is difficult to adjust the focus for example, when recording a subject with no contrast (wall or sky), adjust manually. Some video camera recorders' filters are automatically activated and the recorded picture may appear odd. Set it to normal speed (1/60) then change it to a faster mode and adjust the brightness.
