Sony PMW-EX3 - Manual (Page 63)

Adjusting the Focus 63
Record
ing
Rotate the focus ring for the best focus while
observing the picture in the viewfinder.
The rang index of the focus ring is effective in
Full MF mode. The distances correspond to the
focus ring positions.
Expanded Focus
When you press the EXPANDED FOCUS
button, the center area of the picture is magnified
in the viewfinder, making the focus adjustment
easier.
Press the EXPANDED FOCUS button again or
leave the focus ring unmoved for 5 seconds to
resume the normal angle for recording.
Peaking
When you turn the PEAKING control from its
left-end position, the peaking function is
activated. This function emphasizes the contours
of the images in the viewfinder, making manual
focusing easier.
The emphasis level is increased by turning the
control clockwise.
This function does not affect recording signals.
The color of the contours can be set with
“Peaking” (page 121) of the VF SET menu.
Turning the control back to its left stop position
deactivates the peaking function.
Slide the focus ring forward (toward the lens
hood) and set the FOCUS switch to MANU to set
the camcorder to MF mode. In this mode, you can
activate Auto Focus only when required.
