Note:
The built-in Video Flash setting will not change even
when the DVD video camera/recorder is turned off.
Unless recording is to be made with the fixed Flash
setting, it is recommended to return it to “Auto” after
recording with the “On” or “Off” setting, before turning
the DVD video camera/recorder off.
When recording dark subjects, the shutter speed will
be slower, so don’t let the camera shake.
However, dark subjects may not be in clear focus
even if the Video Flash is used. It is recommended
that you light a subject when recording in a dark
place.
The built-in Video Flash cannot be used when a
conversion lens is attached: Specify “Flash: Off”.
The Video Flash automatically adjusts the amount of
light emitted, but the light amount adjustment may be
insufficient when a subject is too far away or too near.
The distance for the built-in Video Flash to adjust the
appropriate amount of light will vary depending on the
subject, but it is approximately 1 – 2.5 m.
When recording a close-up photo, specify Flash: Off.
Using the flash too near subject could cause a whitish
image.

human eye could damage the subject’s eyesight.

move the DVD video camera/recorder at least 1 m
away.
