24p digital cinema:

≥[Digital Cinema Color] is turned [ON] and is not changeable.

≥Motion pictures recorded while this setting is turned to [ON] may not be played back properly with a player that does not support 24p.

Microphone setup:

≥If [MIC SETUP] is set to [FOCUS MIC] or [ZOOM MIC] when zooming in (close-up), sounds from the surrounding area are suppressed and sound near the front of the unit is recorded. If you wish to record higher quality sound and maintain realism even when zooming in, for instance, when recording a music recital, we recommend setting

[MIC SETUP] to [SURROUND].

≥Noise increases in dark locations. Color balance and brightness on the screen may change with some light sources such as fluorescent lamps.

≥Image quality is different from ordinary still picture recording. To record more vivid still

pictures, turn off this function before recording. (l 46)

Built-in flash:

≥Do not block the flash with your hand or by other means.

≥Set the flash to [OFF] where using a flash is prohibited.

≥Do not use the flash with the ND filter (optional) attached.

≥The unit automatically determines if the flash is necessary even when it has been set to [OFF] by detecting the ambient brightness. (If it

determines that the flash is necessary, the [ ]

indication lights up in red when the button is pressed halfway.)

≥If the [ß] indication etc. flashes or is not

displayed when the button is pressed halfway, the flash is not activated.

≥The available range of the flash is approx. 1 m to 2.5 m (3.3 feet to 8.2 feet) in dark places. Pictures will appear dark or reddish when they are recorded by using the flash at distances greater than 2.5 m (8.2 feet).

≥Using the flash fixes a shutter speed to 1/500 or slower.

≥The picture may appear dark if the flash is lit in front of a white background.

≥A conversion lens (optional) can block the flash and may cause a vignetting effect.

≥If the flash is activated a large number of times, it may take longer to charge it.
