Selecting the Focusing Point
The subject you wish to record is not always in the center of the screen. In the Focus-

subject you wish into sharp focus.
When the program selector is set to EASY, the Focus-Priority becomes set to ON (only
the center focusing point is available).

Three focusing frames appear on the screen, one of it in green.
3. Turn the SET dial to select the focusing point.
Turn the SET dial up to select the frame to the right, down to select the frame to the
left.
The focusing frame gives an indication of the focusing point. Depending on the
size of the subject or the distance, the camcorder may focus outside the frame.
When you operate the zoom lever, the frames other than the selected one
disappear.
The focusing point can be selected only when Focus-Priority is set to [ON] in
CARD CAMERA mode.
The focusing point returns to the center if you turn off the camcorder, change
from CARD CAMERA mode or move the program selector to EASY.
The focusing point cannot be selected in the following cases:
