Using Auto Focus 
The camera/recorder focuses the subject in the center of the viewfinder automatically 
unless the manual focus is engaged. With the VM-E55A, if  appears in the viewfinder, 
manual focus is engaged. Press the FOCUS control (AUTO/MAN) buttons 
simultaneously to return to auto focus. 
 
The auto focus will not work under the following conditions and you must focus 
manually: 
Objects outside the center of the viewfinder 
Objects at different distances in the center of the viewfinder 
Brightly lit objects such as a neon light, objects lit by spotlight, etc. 
Objects behind water dappled or dusty glass
