detection zoneThe camcorderOs Full Range AF system offers continuous
shooting ability from close-up to infinity. However,
correct focus may not be obtainable in the situations
listed below (in these cases use manual focusing):
YWhen two subjects overlap in the same scene.
YWhen illumination is low.*
YWhen the subject has no contrast (difference in
brightness and darkness), such as a flat, one-colour
wall, or a clear, blue sky.*
YWhen a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.*
YWhen the scene contains minute patterns or identical
patterns that are regularly repeated.
YWhen the scene is affected by sunbeams or light
reflecting off the surface of a body of water.
YWhen shooting a scene with a high-contrast
background.
* The low-contrast warning O� appears.
NOTES:
cIf the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate focusing is
not possible. Keep the lens clean, wiping with a piece
of soft cloth if it gets dirty. When condensation occurs,
wipe with a soft cloth or wait for it to dry naturally.
cWhen shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom-out
first (Z pg. 16). If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode,
the camcorder could automatically zoom out depend-
ing on the distance between the camcorder and the
subject. When Tele Macro (Z pg. 26) is activated, the
camcorder will not zoom out automatically. |
