1)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.

The video light can only be used with the camcorder’s power on.

It is recommended to set the white balance

(pg. 29) to when you use the video light. When not using the video light, turn it off to save

battery power.

Do not place the camcorder into the carrying case immediately after using the video light, since it remains extremely hot for some time.
