FEATURES FOR RECORDING
LED Light can be used to brighten the
subject in the dark place during video
recording or D.S.C. shooting.

setting.
OFF: Turns off the light.
ON: The light is on always. ( appears.)
AUTO: The light turns on automatically
when dark. ( appears.)
2 Press the Recording Start/Stop Button to start video
recording or SNAPSHOT to shoot a still image.
NOTES:
● Be careful not to point the LED Light directly to eyes.
● If the light does not reach the subject, the Night-Scope
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 LED Light setting is “ON”, they will appear slightly
blurred.
Once the camcorder is set, the camcorder operator can
become part of the scene in a more natural way, adding
the final touch to a memorable picture.
