In this case, use the manual focus function. page ??
• The minimum possible distance between camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is about 1cm (about
0.4 inches) for wide angle and about 50cm (about 19.7 inches) for telephoto. If you want to shoot the object close
to the lens at a wide angle, use the Tele Macro function. page ??

are rendered white in your image. Proper white balance has to take into account the “color temperature”
of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light.
