DANGER

The video light can become extremely hot. Do not touch it either while in operation or soon after turning it off, otherwise serious injury may result.

Do not place the camcorder into the carrying case immediately after using the

video light, since it remains extremely hot for some time.

When operating, keep a distance of about 30 cm

(11-13/16") between the video light and people or objects.

Do not use near flammable or explosive materials.

Do not place the camcorder in a cabinet or box while the video light is in operation.

When using the video light, if you wish to install the camcorder in a fixed position, attach it to a tripod, etc. Do not affix it directly to a surface such as a table top.

It is recommended that you consult your nearest JVC dealer for replacing the video light.

FEATURE: Video Light

PURPOSE:

To brighten the scene when natural lighting is too dim.

OPERATION:

Set LIGHT OFF/AUTO/ON as required: OFF : Turns off the light.

AUTO : Automatically turns on the light when the camcorder senses insufficient lighting on the subject.

ON : Always keeps the light on as long as the camcorder is turned on.

It is recommended to set the white balance

( pg. 43) to when you use the video light.

When not using the video light, turn it off to save battery power.

NOTES:

Even if the battery indicator ( ) does not blink due to low battery charge, the camcorder may turn off automatically when you turn on the video light, or when you start recording with the video light turned on.

When LIGHT OFF/AUTO/ON is set to “AUTO”:

Depending on the lighting conditions, the video light may keep turning on and off. In this case, manually switch the light on or off using LIGHT OFF/AUTO/ON.

While the “SHUTTER” or “SPORTS” mode

( pg. 37) is engaged, the light is likely to stay on.

While the “TWILIGHT” mode ( pg. 37) is engaged, the light will not activate.
