USING THE BUILT-IN CAMERA LIGHT 

 

67

Use the built-in camera light it you wish to shoot objects in dark places. When the 
"LIGHT" switch is set to "AUTO", the camera light turns on automatically when the 
camera/recorder is pointed at objects in a dark place and turns off when it is pointed at 
objects in a bright place. 

CAUTION: The power consumption of the built-in camera light is about a half that of the 
camera/recorder. Therefore, if the camera light is turned on when a fully charged battery 
pack is attached, the operating time of the battery falls to about a half. 

1. Make sure that a fully charged battery pack or AC adaptor/charger is attached. 
2. Set the "POWER" switch to "CAM" and then set the "LIGHT" switch to "AUTO" 
when required. 

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

CAUTION: 
• Turn the camera light on only when you need it, otherwise the operating time of the 
battery pack is shortened due to the power consumption of the camera light. 
• When the "LIGHT" switch is set to "AUTO", the camera light does not turn on unless a 
cassette is loaded. 

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

 

3. After use, set the "LIGHT" switch to "OFF" or set the "POWER" switch of the 
camera/recorder to "OFF" position.
