●Do not flash at a person at short range.

●In Multi-Analyser 4, Multi-Analyser 9 or Nega/Posi mode, the flash is disabled (☞ pg. 25).

●The flash does not light when the flash is set to “OFF” on the recording menu and also when the battery

remaining power is low. Moreover, the flash does not light when it is set to “AUTO” on the recording menu with GAIN UP set to “OFF” (☞ pg. 29) and with Programme AE with special effects set to “TWILIGHT” (☞ pg. 34).

●When taking several snapshots in succession (Motor Drive Mode), the flash lights only during the first one.

●Although images shot with a flash tend to look whiter than they actually are, to compensate for this 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.

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

●When you want to change the brightness of the flash, refer to “Flash Brightness Adjustment” (☞ pg. 27).

●While charging the flash, blinks and the flash does not light. Although noise may appear, this is not a malfunction. This is not recorded. It can take up to ten seconds to charge the flash.
