•Some modes of “Program AE With Special Effects” (
pg. 30).

•“GAIN UP” in CAMERA Menu. (

NOTES:

●Be careful not to point the LED Light directly to eyes.

●If the light does not reach the subject, the Night-Alive function will be activated, and makes it possible to shoot the subject brighter.

●There is a difference in the brightness of the images shot between the centre area which is illuminated by the LED Light and the surrounding areas (which will be darker).

●Since subjects are shot at a reduced shutter speed when the White LED Light setting is “ON”, they will appear slightly blurred.
