Tips
• When you set N.S.LIGHT to ON in the menu
system of the camcorder, the picture will be more
clear.
• The distance between the IR light and the subject
in the dark should be from about 3 m (9 ^/.s ft) to
20 m (65 ft). When the subject is too close, Hi
light cannot light the subject completely.
Since the recording distance will differ
depending on the environment, be sure to check
the brightness of the picture in step 3 before you
start recording.
Notes on IR light

monochrome.
