MENTE TE]
Use manual focusing when shooting subjects
difficult to focus automatically (listed on page
38).
1 Set the FOCUS switch to MAN and turn the
manual zoom lever to the telephoto position

in the viewfinder.
Turn the focus ring to achieve sharp focus.
Set the desired shot length using the manual
zoom lever.
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 the wide-angle position and the focus ring
to 2 m, regardless of the distance between the subject
and the recorder.
When shooting in low light situations such as indoors, the
depth of field in proper focus is very shaliow. 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.
Recommended illumination of this unit is more than 300
lux (28 footcandies). if shooting is done indoors or under
other circumstances where light is insufficient, video
lights must be used for best results. Under adequate light
condition, the depth of field in proper focus is wider and a
sharper picture will be recorded.
