About the AF-Assist Lamp:
While you press
j
halfway, if the sur-
roundings of the subject are too dark, the mini video light may light up
briefly in order to enable the camcorder to focus more accurately (AF-
assist lamp).
- You can also set
8
8
[AF-Assist Lamp] to [
B
Off] so the assist
lamp is not activated.
- The camcorder may not be able to focus even if the AF-assist lamp is
on.
- When the recording program is set to [
r
Underwater] or
[
s
Surface], [AF-Assist Lamp] is automatically set to [

• The practical range of the flash is approx. 1 to 2 m. The practical range
with the VFL-2 attached is approx. 1 to 4 m. In any case, the actual
range will depend on the recording conditions.
• The range of the flash decreases in continuous shooting mode.
• For red-eye reduction to be effective, the subject needs to look at the
assist lamp. The degree of reduction depends on the distance and on
each individual.
• The flash mode cannot be selected when the exposure is locked.
• We recommend not using the flash while the optional Wide-converter or
Tele-converter is attached; its shadow can appear on the screen.
