The flash can be used when a snapshot is taken in Record-Standby mode. ( pg. 27, 53)

When the Power Switch is set to “A”, the flash

automatically fires if it is dark ( appears).

When the Power Switch is set to “M”, you can select the flash setting as follows:

AUTO : Fires automatically if it is dark ( appears).

AUTO : Fires automatically if it is dark (

C appears) and reduces the Red-Eye effect

 

in the subject’s eyes.

ON

: Always fires.

OFF

: Will not fire.

For the setting, refer to “Changing The Menu Settings” ( pg. 38).

If “AUTO C” is selected...

The C Red-Eye reduction indicator lights. Press SNAPSHOT. The flash fires twice. The first flash is for reduction of the human eye’s red reflection and the second flash is for the actual recording.

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-Alive mode ( pg. 53) is engaged, and also when the battery remaining power is low. Moreover, the flash does not fire when it is set to “AUTO” with GAIN UP set to “OFF” ( pg. 45) and with Program AE with special effects set to “TWILIGHT”. ( pg. 42)

Although images shot with a flash tend to look whiter than they actually are, to compensate for this the camcorder automatically darkens the picture when using the flash. 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.

The colour tone changes depending on the background lighting conditions, such as under fluorescent or halogen lamps.

While charging the flash, blinks and the flash will not fire. Although noise may appear, this is not a malfunction and is not recorded. It can take up to 10 seconds to charge the flash.

Flash Brightness Adjustment

When a snapshot ( pg. 27, 53) is taken 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.

1Select “FLASH ADJ.” in MANUAL Menu, and press the MENU Wheel in.

The parameter appears.

2To intensify the flash, rotate the MENU Wheel towards “+”. To weaken the flash, rotate the MENU Wheel towards “–”.

Adjustment range: –3 to +3.

3Press the MENU Wheel in. Rotate the MENU Wheel to select “BRETURN”, and press it twice to close the Menu Screen.

NOTE:

When you change the subject you are shooting or the shooting location, set it back to ±0 as described in step 2 and take a snapshot to check the flash brightness. After doing this adjust to your desired brightness.
