Notes
The recommended distance to the subject when using the built-in flash is about 0.3 to 2.5 m (1 to 8 feet).
Remove any dust from the surface of the flash before using it. Flash effect may be impaired if heat
discoloration or dust obscures the lamp.
You cannot set this item when a filter or a conversion lens is attached to your camcorder.
The /CHG (charge) lamp (p. 7) flickers while charging the flash, and remains lit when the battery charge
is complete.
If you use the flash in bright places such as when shooting a backlit subject, the flash may not be effective.
