From the period, 10th January through 7th February, 2014, Hinode mission performed the first exploratory operation, called "Focus Mode". The main purpose of this mode is to reduce the workload of the COs to minimize the operational cost of the Hinode mission. It is also important to evaluate the scientific output (i.e., data quality) from this operational mode.
