*Use AG-HMC70 series "Manual focus" and
"One-push Auto focus"
------------------------------------------------------------
It can be difficult to focus on
high contrast subjects in a timely manner with manual focus.
In these cases:
Press "PUSH AUTO" button to activate "One-push Auto"
function.
This activates the Auto focus while using Manual focus mode.
Since launching in April, the AG-HMC70 series has been well accepted because of
the stability of its shoulder-mount style and large viewfinder that can be used
to create stable and high quality HD recording in the field shooting.

One Point advice
*Edit "AVCHD" files.
------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction of editing advice for AVCHD (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) clips.
For Microsoft Windows, use Canopus/EDIUS pro4.
It is possible to load data directly, however we advise to convert the files to
Canopus HQ so that playback is smoother and easy to handle.
Convert the data to Canopus HQ using the Canopus AVCHD converter.
Refer to Canopus/Edius pro4 official website;
http://www.canopus.com/products/EDIUSPro/index.php
*Other method: Use AVCHD-transcoder to convert to P2 data (DVCPROHD codec).

For Apple Macintosh, use Apple/FinalCutPro
Convert the AVCHD data to Apple InterMediate Codec.
The convert speed is faster and the data volume is smaller than the ProRes422
codec.
Refer to Apple/Apple Intermediate Codec official website;
