NOTES:

During Night-Scope, the following functions or settings cannot be activated and its indicator blinks or goes out:

Some modes of “Program AE With Special Effects” ( pg. 19).

“GAIN UP” in CAMERA Menu. ( pg. 15)

“DIS” in MANUAL Menu. ( pg. 15)

During Night-Scope, it may be difficult to bring the camcorder into focus. To prevent this, use of a tripod is recommended.

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

If the light does not reach the subject, the Night-Scope 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.
