142 Additional Information
[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 deteri-
orate 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 fast-mov-
ing 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].
[Focus Priority]: When the focus priority is activated, the camcorder
records a photo only after the focus has been adjusted automatically. You
can also select which AF frames to use.
[ AiAF Frames]: One or more AF frames out of the nine frames avail-
able are automatically selected and the focus is fixed on them.
[ Center Frame]: A single focusing frame appears in the center of the
screen and the focus is automatically fixed on it.
[ Off]: No AF frame will appear and the photo will be recorded immedi-
ately after you press .
• When the recording mode is set to [ Fireworks], focus priority is auto-
matically set to [ Off].
• When focus priority is activated, if face detection ( 72) is also acti-
vated, the camcorder will focus on the face of the main subject (white
face-detection frame) when one is detected.
