Auto Focus / Manual Focus

The Auto Focus/Manual Focus function works in both <Camera> and <M.Cam>
modes. page 19
In most situations, it is better to use the automatic focus feature, as it enables
you to concentrate on the creative side of your recording.
Manual focusing may be necessary under certain conditions that make
automatic focusing difficult or unreliable.

Auto Focus

If you are inexperienced in the use of Camcorders, we recommend that you
make use of Auto Focus.

Manual Focus

a. A picture containing several objects, some close to the Camcorder, others further away.
b. A person enveloped in fog or surrounded by snow.
c. Very shiny or glossy surfaces like a car.
d. People or objects moving constantly or quickly like an athlete or a crowd.
