•When using the Super NightShot plus or Color Slow Shutter function, the shutter speed of your camcorder changes depending on the brightness. The motion of the picture may slow down at this time.

•Adjust the focus manually when it is hard to focus automatically.

•Do not cover the infrared port with your fingers or other objects. Remove the conversion lens (optional) if it is attached.

•Depending on the shooting conditions or circumstances, colors may not be reproduced properly.

zTip

•If you record subjects in complete darkness, setting [NS LIGHT] to [ON] in the menu setting is recommended. The maximum shooting distance using the NightShot Light is about 3 m (10 feet). (The default setting is [ON].)

If you record subjects in dark places (such as night scene or in moonlight), set [NS LIGHT] to [OFF] in the menu setting. You can make image color deeper (p. 67).
