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

due to the power consumption of the camera light.

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

• When the camera light is on, avoid subjecting the camera light to impacts or sharp vibrations. 
• Do not allow the cooling vents to become blocked. Also, do not cover the camera light with paper or other 
objects, since the air flow will be interrupted, resulting in possible overheating hazard.
