+ When the subject has no contrast (difference in bright-
ness and darkness), such as a flat, one-color wall, or a
clear, blue sky.*
+ When a dark object is barely visible in the viewfinder.*
e When the scene contains minute patterns or identical
patterns that are regularly rel)eated+
+ When the scene is affected by sunbeams or light
reflecting off the surface of a body of water.
+ When shooting a scene with a high-contrast background.
* The low-contrast warning "_-'- " al)l)ears.
NOTES:
• If the lens is smeared or blurred, accurate focusing is not
possible. Keep the lens clean, wiping with a piece of soft
cloth if it gets dirty. When cor_der_sation occurs, wipe
with a soft cloth or wait for it to dry naturally.
• When shooting a subject close to the lens, zoom out first

camcorder could automatically zoom out depending on
the distance between the camcorder and the subject.
When Tele Macro ff_-¢ pg. 33) is actiw_ted, the
camcorder will not zoom out automatically.
