Adjusting the Focus
The camcorder incorporates Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, allowing you to use continuous AF or one-shot AF
while shooting. Select the focusing method that best fulfils your needs and is most suited for the lens you are
using. Refer also to the instruction manual of the lens. When using a lens included with a lens kit, refer only to the
explanations in this section.
Manual focus: Turn the focus ring on the lens or use the Browser Remote application to adjust the focus. The
camcorder offers several focus assistance functions to help you focus more accurately when using the manual
focus.
One-shot AF*: With the lens's focus mode switch set to AF, press the ONE-SHOT AF button or use the Browser
Remote application to temporarily let the camcorder focus automatically on the subject at the center of the
screen.
Continuous AF*: The camcorder continuously focuses on the subject at the center of the screen. By pressing the
AF LOCK button, you can change the composition of the picture while keeping the focus.
Face AF**: The camcorder automatically detects a person's face, focuses on it and can track it if that person
moves.
* Available when an EF lens (except manual focus lenses) is attached to the camcorder.
**Available only with compatible EF lenses (A 65).
