certain focus point and then, after you focus manually
somewhere else, have the camcorder return to the
preset focus position.

appear inside the focus frame and in the focus
preset button.
2 Select the focus preset button to save the current
focus position.
• The indicator inside the button will turn orange to
show the focus preset function was activated.
• Select the focus preset button again to turn off the focus preset function.

• To end focus preset, select the focus preset button.
NOTES
• The preset focus position will be canceled when the camcorder is turned off.

[£ Display Setup] > [Distance Units] setting.
• You can use the > [v Camera Setup] > [Focus Preset Speed] setting to set the speed at
which the camcorder returns to the preset focus position.
Using the Focus Assistance Functions
In order to focus more accurately, you can use the following focus assistance functions: peaking,
which creates a clearer contrast by emphasizing the outlines of the subject; and magnification, which
enlarges the image on the screen. You can use peaking and magnification simultaneously for greater
effect.
