The camcorder uses phase detection AF for
high-speed focusing and contrast AF for
high-accuracy focusing.
The combination of these two AF methods
provides auto focus with both high speed
and high accuracy.
When phase detection AF is enabled, phase
detection AF frames are displayed on the
screen when [PHASE AF FRAMES] is set
to [ON]. And the phase detection AF area is
displayed on the screen when [PHASE
DETECT. AF AREA] is set to [ON].
The position for focusing is indicated by
white phase detection AF frames, and the
frames turn green when the image is in
focus.
b Notes
• Phase detection AF frames are displayed only
when [FOCUS AREA] is set to [WIDE] or
[ZONE]. If set to [CENTER] or [FLEXIBLE
SPOT] and phase detection AF is enabled, the
focus area frame is displayed green to indicate
the in-focus state.
• The auto focus function cannot be used when
shooting in Super Slow Motion.
