[Digital Zoom]: Determines the
operation of the digital zoom.
The color of the indicator indi-
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 deteriorate the more you zoom in.
[AF Mode]: Select how fast the autofocus will operate.
•With [= Instant AF] the autofocus adjusts quickly to a new subject.
This is convenient, for example, when changing the focus from a near
subject to a far subject in the background, or when recording moving
subjects.
• When the optional Wide-converter or Tele-converter is attached to the
camcorder, it may partially obstruct the Instant AF sensor. Set the AF
mode to [@ Normal AF].
• When the recording program is set to [š SCN: Underwater] or
[Ÿ SCN: Surface],
the AF mode is automatically set to
[@ Normal AF].
