    Solution

      In order to focus more accurately, you can use two focus assistance functions – peaking, which creates a clearer contrast by emphasizing the outlines of the subject, and magnification, which enlarges the image on the screen.
      You can use both functions simultaneously for greater effect. You can display the edge monitor to help you focus even more accurately.
      For more information on the display method, please refer to the camcorder’s Instruction Manual.
      NOTE
      • You can also use the [ Other Functions] > [Custom Function] > [Focus Assistance B&W] setting to switch the screen to black & white while using the focus assistance functions.
      • You can use peaking together with the edge monitor. In such case, the gain and frequency of the peaking effect will be adjusted automatically according to the gain settings of the edge monitor.
      For more information on setting procedures and operations, please refer to the camcorder’s Instruction Manual.
