When "LIGHT" is set to "AUTO", the camera light turns on automatically when the camcorder is pointed at objects in a dark place and turns off when it is pointed at objects in a bright place.

CAUTION: The power consumption of the built-in camera light is about a half that of the camcorder. Therefore, if the camera light is turned on when a fully charged battery pack is attached, the operating time of the battery falls to about a half.

1 Make sure that a fully charged battery pack or AC adaptor/charger is attached.

2.Set "CAM/OFF/VIDEO" to "CAM" and then set "LIGHT" to "AUTO" when required.

NOTE: When "LIGHT" is set to "ON", the camera light will turn on whenever you make a recording.

CAUTIONS:

•Turn the camera light on only when you need it, otherwise the operating time of the battery pack is shortened due to the power consumption of the camera light.

•When "LIGHT" is set to "AUTO", the camera light does not turn on unless a cassette is loaded.

CAUTION: Do not hold the unit by the built-in camera light when carrying as this could cause a malfunction.

3. After use, set "LIGHT" to "OFF' or set "CAM/ OFF/VIDEO" of the camcorder to "OFF" position.
