NOTES:

function will be activated, and makes it possible to shoot
the subject brighter.
● There is a difference in the brightness of the images shot
between the centre area which is illuminated by the LED
Light and the surrounding areas (which will be darker).
● Since subjects are shot at a reduced shutter speed when
the White LED Light setting is “ON”, they will appear slightly
blurred.

would be under good natural lighting. Although the
recorded image is not grainy, it may look as if it is
strobing due to the slow shutter speed.
