Auto focusing system of this camera recorder
This recorder adjusts focus automatically by
emitting an infrared beam at the objects to be shot
and then detecting the reflected beam.
:
When ihe subject is approximately 3 meters away
from the camera recorder, the focus is sharpest in
the center of the screen. The camera recorder has
the tendency, however, to focus a bit lower to the
left when the subject is within 3 meters, and a bit
higher to the right when the subject is more than 3
meters away.
Note
As the auto focusing of this camera recorder utilizes
an infrared beam, it might malfunction when you
use the camera recorder near another equipment
that also emits an infrared beam such as a TV or
VCR remote commander, or another camera
recorder that uses an infrared beam for auto
focusing.
it might also cause malfunctioning of such
equipment.
Some helpful hints
¢ When shooting a scene with lots of movement in bright
light, the subject can be kept in good focus by setting the
zoom lever to 12 and the focus ring to 2m, regardiess of
the distance between the subject and the recorder.
* When shooting in fow light situations such as indoors, the
depth of field in proper focus is very shallow. For best
results, shoot at wide angles, after focusing in telephoto.
¢ The figures on the focus ring indicate the distance
between the subject and the ¢ mark on the side of the
recorder body.
