focus of the camcorder using the dial.

control the focus in difficult situations
where either the environment or the

auto focus to perform optimally, such
as when shooting through a window or
in a crowded environment.
Easy Handycam Button

for some people, so with a press of the
Easy Handycam button, most of the
advanced features of the camcorder
are "locked out" leaving only the
buttons essential for recording
operational.
