Other Functions 

• Repeatedly pressing

seconds).

NOTES

 The practical range of the flash is approx. 1 to 

2 m (3.3 to 6.6 ft.). The range depends on the 
recording conditions.

 The range of the flash decreases in 

continuous shooting mode.

 For the red-eye reduction to be effective, the 

subject needs to look at the assist lamp. The 
degree of reduction depends on the distance 
and on each individual.

 The flash will not fire in the following cases:

- When you manually adjust the exposure in 

 

(auto) or 

 (red-eye reduction) mode.

- During auto exposure bracketing.

 The flash mode cannot be changed after you 

pressed 

 to manually adjust the exposure.

 We recommend not using the flash when the 

optional Wide-converter or Tele-converter is 
attached. Their shadows appear on the screen.

 About the AF-Assist Lamp: While you press 

 halfway, if the subject is too dark the 

assist lamp may light up briefly in order to 
enable the camcorder to focus more accurately 
(AF-assist lamp). You can also set [AF AST 
LAMP] to [

OFF] so the assist lamp does 

not light up.
- The camcorder may not be able to focus even 
if the AF-assist lamp is on.
- The brightness of the AF-assist lamp could be 
an inconvenience. Consider turning it off in 
public places such as restaurants or theaters.
