Tips for focusing manually
• It is easier to focus on the subject when 
you use the zoom function. Move the 
power zoom lever towards T (telephoto) 
to adjust the focus, and then, towards W 
(wide angle) to adjust the zoom for 
recording.
• When you want to record a close-up 
image of a subject, move the power zoom 
lever towards W (wide angle) to fully 
magnify the image, then adjust the focus.
To adjust the focus automatically
Press FOCUS again.
