Hitachi dzmv238eau User Manual

The DVD video camera/recorder measures the distance to a subject viewed at the centre of screen and
automatically focuses on it. If you want to record by adding special effects or focusing on a subject image
off the centre of screen, adjust the focus manually.

Press the FOCUS button in the recording pause
status.
“MF” will appear on the screen.

Press the zoom lever down to “T” control side
to zoom in on subject.

Use the     buttons to adjust the focus, while
viewing the image in the viewfinder or on the
LCD screen.

Pressing FOCUS will alternate between

manual focus and auto focus. With auto focus, no
indication will appear on the screen.
Note:

Be sure to zoom up to your subject only

when manually focusing on it. If you bring the sub-
ject into focus at the wide-angle position, focus
will be incorrect when you zoom up to the sub-
ject.
Note:

Manual focus is released when the DVD

video camera/recorder is turned off. When you turn
the DVD video camera/recorder on next time, auto
focus will be restored.
