The Camcorder : Functions
Manual Focus / Auto Focus (MF/AF)
✤ MF/AF mode only works in REC mode.
✤ In most situations, you will obtain the best results using AF (Auto Focus).
✤ Manual Focus may not be the optimum setting for everyday filming.
✤ Manual Focus allows the user to obtain clearer pictures under certain conditions that
make automatic focusing difficult and/or unreliable.
✤ In REC mode, the camcorder will be set to Automatic Focus when the Camcorder is
turned On.
✤ In the following cases, you may obtain better results by adjusting the focus manually.
a. A picture containing several objects where some objects are close to the camcorder and
others are farther away.
b. A person enveloped in fog or surrounded by snow.
c. Very shiny or glossy surfaces like a car.
d. People or objects moving constantly or quickly like at an athletic event or in a crowd.

2. Press the MF/AF button.
