If white circular spots appear on photos
This is caused by particles (dust, pollen, etc.) floating close to the lens. When they are accentuated by
the camcorder’s flash, they appear as white circular spots.
To reduce the white circular spots, light the room and shoot the subject without a flash.
Notes
The recommended distance to the subject when using the built-in flash is approximately 0.3 m to
1.5 m (1 foot to 5 feet).
Remove any dust from the surface of the flash before using it. Flash effect may be impaired if heat
discoloration or dust obscures the lamp.
The flash does not flash while the
(Movie) lamp is lit.
A shadow may be produced on photos if you use the flash when you take photos with the
conversion lens (sold separately) attached.
