NOTES:

White LED Light

White LED Light can be used to brighten the subject in the dark place during video recording or D.S.C. shooting.

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

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

“GAIN UP” in CAMERA Menu. ( pg. 26)

“DIS” in MANUAL Menu. ( pg. 26)

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

1 Press LIGHT repeatedly to change the setting.

OFF: Turns off the light.

ON: The light is on always. ( appears.)

AUTO: The light turns on automatically when dark.

( appears.)

2 Press the Recording Start/Stop Button to start video recording or SNAPSHOT to shoot a still image.

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.
