• You cannot use a flash with the following recording mode:
– [Bracket: Cont.]
– [Hand-held Twilight]
– [Anti Motion Blur]
– Movie recording
Fuzzy white circular spots appear on images shot using a flash.
• Particles (dust, pollen, etc.) in the air reflected the flash light and appeared on the image. This is not a
malfunction.
The image taken with flash is too dark.
• If the subject is beyond the flash range (the distance that the flash can reach), the pictures will be dark
because the flash light does not reach the subject. If the ISO is changed, the flash range also changes
with it.
The date and time are recorded incorrectly.
• Set the correct date and time (page 60).
• The area selected with [Area Setting] is different from the actual area. To set the actual area, press the
MENU button , then select [Setup] t [Area Setting].
The aperture value and/or shutter speed flashes when you press the PHOTO
button halfway down.
• Since the subject is too bright or too dark, it is beyond the available range of the camcorder. Adjust
the setting again.
The image is whitish (Flare).
Blurring of light appears on the image (Ghosting).
• The picture was taken under a strong light source, and excessive light has entered the lens. When
using the zoom lens, attach a lens hood.
The corners of the picture are too dark.
• Take off the filter or hood. Depending on the thickness of the filter and improper attachment of the
hood, the filter or the hood may partially appear in the image. The optical properties of some lenses
may cause the periphery of the image to appear too dark (insufficient light).
The eyes of the subject come out red.
• Activate the Red Eye Reduction function (page 55).
• Get close to the subject, and shoot the subject within the flash range using a flash.
Dots appear and remain on the LCD monitor.
• This is not a malfunction. These dots are not recorded.
The image is blurred.
• The picture was taken in a dark location without a flash, resulting in camera shake. The use of a tripod
or flash (sold separately) is recommended (page 37). [Hand-held Twilight] (page 28) and [Anti
Motion Blur] (page 29) are also effective in reducing blur.
The exposure value is flashing on the LCD monitor.
• The subject is too bright or too dark for the metering range of the camcorder.
