Notes
The recommended shooting distance using the built-in flash is 0.3 m to 2.5 m (31/32
feet to 8 1/3 feet).
Attaching the lens hood (supplied) or a conversion lens (optional) may block the light
from the flash or cause lens shadow to appear.
You cannot use an external flash (optional) and the built-in flash at the same time.
(auto red-eye reduction) may not produce the desired effect depending on
individual differences, the distance to the subject, the subject not looking at the pre-
recording flash or other conditions.
The flash effect cannot be obtained easily when you use forced flash in a bright
location.
If it is not easy to focus on a subject automatically, for example, when recording in the
dark, use HOLOGRAM AF (p. 132) or the focal distance information (p. 70) for
focusing manually.

power supply
Your camcorder returns to the default setting (auto).
