| the battery is low. |
| |||
| • You can capture bright and clear photos within the recordable range when you use the flash. |

| camcorder can not capture bright and clear images. |
| |||
| • When you use the flash in a dark place, foreign substances such as dust can be reflected in the |
| |||
| light from the flash, so that blur, white dots, round dots, or white circles may appear on the images. |
| |||
| This is not a malfunction of the camcorder. |
| |||
| • You cannot use a flash under the following conditions: |
| |||
| - when using the continuous shooting function | 47 | |||
