– Memory Photo recording
Notes
•Clean any dirt from the flash surface before use. With the heat from the flash firing,
dirt can cause discoloration or stick to the flash surface so that the flash does not give
off a sufficient amount of light.
•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).
•Attaching the lens hood (supplied) or 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 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.
•The flash charge lamp flashes while the power for firing is being charged. After
charging is complete, the flash charge lamp lights up.
•When recording with the flash with the POWER switch set to CAMERA, it takes
longer to prepare for image capture. This is because your camcorder starts to charge
power for firing after the flash pops up.
•If it is not easy to focus on a subject automatically, for example, when recording in the
dark, use HOLOGRAM AF (p. 113) or the focal distance information (p. 62) for
focusing manually.
The flash does not fire even if you select auto and (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
