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

change the setting.

still image.
NOTES:
● Be careful not to point the LED Light directly to
eyes.
● If the light does not reach the subject when the
LED Light setting is “ON”, the Night-Alive 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.
This feature is useful for recording or playing
back precious or hard-to-see moments at a slow
speed. Sound is recorded and played back in
real time.
