Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead.
1) Recording a subject whose one end is

located closer to the Palmcorder and the
other end farther away from it
≥Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at

the center of an image, it may be impossible
to focus on a subject that is located in both
foreground and background.

2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty

glass
≥Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the

subject behind the glass will not be focused.

3) Recording a subject in dark surroundings

≥Because the light information that comes

through the lens decreases considerably,
the Palmcorder cannot focus correctly.

4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by

objects with glossy surfaces or by highly
reflective objects
≥Because the Palmcorder focuses on the

objects with glossy surfaces or on highly
reflective objects, the subject may become
blurry.

5) Recording a fast-moving subject

≥Because the focus lens-inside moves

mechanically, it cannot keep up with the
fast-moving subject.

6) Recording a subject with little contrast

≥Because the Palmcorder achieves focus

based upon the vertical lines of an image, a
subject with little contrast, such as a white
wall, may become blurry.

ª Time Code

Time Code signals are data that indicate time
measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and
frames (30 frames per second). If this data is
included in a recording, an address is assigned to
each image on the tape.
≥The Time Code is automatically recorded as a

part of the sub-code at each recording.

≥When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette

is inserted, the Time Code automatically starts
from zero. If a recorded Cassette is inserted,
the Time Code picks up from the point where
the last scene was recorded. (In this case, when
the Cassette is inserted, the zero display
[0h00m00s00f] may appear, but the Time Code
starts from the previous value.)

≥The Time Code cannot be reset to zero.
≥Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded

from the beginning of a tape, accurate editing
may not be possible. To ensure that the Time
Code will be recorded with no breaks, we
recommend the use of the Blank Search
Function (

) before recording a new scene.
