Notes
•Wipe the flash surface clean before use.
Dirt on the flash may be darkened or stuck to the surface by the heat from flashing
and this may reduce the amount of light emitted.
•The recommended shooting distance using the built-in flash is 0.3 m to 2.5 m (31/32
feet to 8 1/3 feet).
•A conversion lens (optional) causes lens shadow to appear.
•You cannot use an external flash (optional) and the built-in flash at the same time.
•Auto red-eye reduction (
) and forced red-eye reduction ( ) may not produce the
desired effect depending on individual subject differences, the distance to the subject,
the subject not looking at the pre-recording flash or other conditions.
•The flash effect cannot be obtained easily when you use forced flash in a bright
location.
•When recording with the flash, it takes longer to prepare for image capture. This is
because your camcorder starts to charge the flash, after it pops up.
•The flash charge lamp flashes while the flash is being charged. After charging is
completed, the flash charge lamp lights up.
•When it is difficult to focus on the subject, for example in poor light, focus manually
using the focal distance information (p. 69).
The flash does not fire even if you select auto or (auto red-eye reduction)
during the following operations:
– NightShot
– SPOTLIGHT of PROGRAM AE
– SUNSETMOON of PROGRAM AE
– LANDSCAPE of PROGRAM AE
– Manual exposure
– Flexible Spot Meter
During recording images continuously
