NOTES:

●Be careful not to point the LED Light directly to eyes.

●There is a difference in the brightness of the images shot between the center area which is illuminated by the LED Light and the surrounding areas (which will be darker).

●Since subjects are shot at a reduced shutter speed when the LED Light setting is “ON”, they will appear slightly blurred.
