32ENFocusingAuto FocusThe camcorders Full Range AF system offers continuousshooting ability from close-up to infinity. However,correct focus may not be obtainable in the situations
listed below (in these cases use manual focusing):When two subjects overlap in the same scene.When illumination is low.*When the subject has no contrast (difference in
brightness and darkness), such as a flat, one-color wall,or a clear, blue sky.*
When a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.*When the scene contains minute patterns or identical
patterns that are regularly repeated.When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light
reflecting off the surface of a body of water.When shooting a scene with a high-contrast
background.* The low-contrast warning appears.
NOTES: If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate focusing is
not possible. Keep the lens clean, wiping with a pieceof soft cloth if it gets dirty. When condensation occurs,wipe with a soft cloth or wait for it to dry naturally.
When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom-outfirst ( pg. 20). If zoomed-in in the auto focus mode,the camcorder could automatically zoom out depend-ing on the distance between the camcorder and thesubject. When Tele Macro ( pg. 30) is activated, thecamcorder will not zoom out automatically.
