- Four directional icons appear on the screen. Use the joystick or wireless controller to adjust the picture. If the picture cannot be adjusted anymore in a particular direction, the corresponding directional icon will turn gray.
- You can use the [Camera Setup] -> [Axis Shift] -> [GUI Color] setting to change the color of the icons and the [Reset] setting to reset the position of the lens.

- If both camcorders are set so that the same value is displayed during zoom, the focal length for both camcorders will be maintained.
NOTE
Although the focal length guide is an aid for 3D recording, make sure to check the picture angle visually while recording.
