Setting the Focus Mode
This function allows users to define the type focus when recording a still image or a video clip.
To set the Focus mode
Tap the onscreen Macro button to display popup macro menu and tap the desired icon.•
Icon. Item Description
Normal
With normal focus, the focus range starts from 0.4m (about 16 inches) to near infinity.
When the camera is set to Normal mode, there is no icon displayed on the screen.
Macro
This mode is designed for close-up photography. This mode should be used for
subjects closer that are 0.4 m (or 16 inches) from the lens. If Macro is enabled, the
camera can capture the detail and sharpness of a very close subject by fixed focus.
Pan Focus
This mode is designed to accurately focus on a desired subject so that closer and
further objects are out of focus. For example, the camera might focus on a nearby
tree, and the distant trees and mountains are blurry, as well as an even closer object
such as a flower.
Infinity
When Infinity is set, the camera focuses on distant objects. This may be good to use
when taking landscape photos.
Setting the Drive Mode
Your camera features a Self-timer and Burst which can be set in the Drive mode function on the screen. The Self-
timer allows you to take photos after a pre-defined delay. While burst lets you take consecutive shots. This function
is only available in recording still images. The Drive mode setting is automatically set to off when you turn off the
camera.
To activate Drive mode:
Tap the onscreen Drive button to display the popup drive mode menu and tap the desired icon.•
