How to focus manually

 

If it is difficult to adjust the focus 
automatically, you can adjust it 
manually (Manual Focus). (See also

(p.66).)

press FOCUS.
The Focus icon appears in the 
LCD monitor.

• Focusing switches between 

Manual Focus and Auto Focus 
each time the FOCUS button is 
pressed. The icon is displayed 
only during manual focusing.

Push the zoom lever toward the T 
(telephoto) side to magnify the 
subject.

Adjust the focus by pressing

• When the power is turned off, 

the camcorder returns to auto 
focus. 

• To manually adjust the focus, 

always magnify the subject as 
in step 2. When the focus is 
adjusted for wide-angle 
zooming, the focus may 
become blurred if you switch 
to telephoto zooming. 

Hint

If you wish to adjust exposure 
while focusing manually, press

lights in orange. To return to
