operation of the digital zoom.

cates the zoom.
• When activated, the cam-
corder will switch automatically
to digital zoom when you zoom
in beyond the optical zoom
range.
• With the digital zoom the
image is digitally processed, so
the image resolution will deteri-
orate the more you zoom in.

•With [R Instant AF] the autofocus adjusts quickly to a new subject.
This is convenient for example when changing the focus from a near

subjects.

camcorder, it may partially obstruct the Instant AF sensor. Set the AF
mode to [S Normal AF].

records a photo only after the focus has been adjusted automatically. You
can also select which AF frames to use.
[U AiAF Frames]: One or more AF frames out of the nine frames avail-
able are automatically selected and the focus is fixed on them.
[W Center Frame]: A single focusing frame appears in the center of the
screen and the focus is automatically fixed on it.
