NOTES:

●Do not fire the flash at a person at short range.

●The flash does not fire when the flash is set to “OFF” or when Night-Scope mode (
pg. 40) is engaged, and also when the battery remaining power is low.

●The flash does not fire even if the flash is set to “ON” when continuous shooting or bracket shooting (
pg. 25, 39) is performed, or “r” is set to “SPORTS” or “SNOW” (
pg. 44).

●When shooting a subject at a distance where the flash light cannot reach (over approx. 2 m), set the flash to “OFF” to prevent the picture from becoming too dark or becoming too tinted.

●While charging the flash, blinks and the flash will not fire.

Flash Brightness Adjustment

When a snapshot is taken (
pg. 25) in the dark the camcorder fires the flash and adjusts the brightness automatically. You can also adjust the flash brightness manually. When you find that the snapshots you took look too bright or too dark, adjust it manually.

●There is the sound effect of a shutter closing.

●The “O” indication appears and a still image will be recorded for approx. 6 seconds, then the camcorder re-enters the record-standby mode.

●You can take snapshots also during video recording. A still image will be recorded for approx. 6 seconds, then the normal recording resumes.

●Regardless of the power switch position (“A” or “M”), snapshots are taken with the selected snapshot mode.

●The flash does not fire during recording.

Continuous Shooting

Keeping SNAPSHOT pressed in step 4 provides an effect similar to serial photography. (Interval between still images: approx. 1 second)

●The continuous shooting mode is disabled when

“REC SELECT” is set to “/”. (
pg. 37)
