❍ A pre-flash is fired to obtain the subject's exposure data to adjust the main
flash to the optimal intensity (flash exposure compensation). When [RED
EYE
] is set, the pre-flash fires between the flash for red-eye reduction and
the main firing.
❍ The flash will not fire in the following cases:
- When you press the EXP button in [AUTO ] or [RED-EYE ] mode.
- During auto exposure bracketing (the flash mark appears in purple).
- When a shutter speed of 1/2000 is set in CAMERA mode (the flash mark
appears in purple). However, if [FLASH ON ] is selected, the shutter speed
becomes set to 1/1000 and the flash fires.
- When an abnormality occurs during charging (the flash mark flashes in red).
- When the multi-image screen is selected, when you are recording movies
onto a tape or when [STILL I. REC] is set to [OFF] (no flash mark appears).
❍ We recommend not using the flash when the wide attachment (supplied with
the ELURA70), the optional Wide-converter or Tele-converter is attached. Their
shadows appear on the screen.
❍ The flash mode cannot be selected when exposure is locked, or after the first
still image in Stitch Assist mode.
❍ The red-eye reduction mode cannot be used in stitch assist mode.
❍ About the AF-Assist Lamp:
When recording still images with flash, the AF-assist lamp (white LED) lights up
responding to the brightness of the subject to enable the camcorder to focus
more accurately. The AF-assist lamp lights up when you focus manually while
the PHOTO button is pressed halfway and turns off after a short time.
- The camcorder may not be able to focus even though the AF-assist lamp is
lighting.
- The AF-assist lamp lights up brightly. Consider turning off the AF-assist lamp
in public places such as in restaurants or theaters.
- Turn off the AF-assist lamp in places where flash photography is prohibited.
