AUTO FOCUS
The 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 bright-
ness 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 depending on
the distance between the camcorder and the subject.
When Tele Macro (Z pg. 27) is activated, the
camcorder will not zoom out automatically. |
