Recording Details
To get the most out of your camcorder, make sure to review this chapter. Here
you will find out about the camcorder’s built-in color-enhancement light, about
focusing, and about Snapshot mode.
Video Light
To brighten the scene when natural
lighting is too dim, the camcorder
uses a built-in video light.
The video light can be turned on at all
times, set to turn on automatically
when the camcorder senses additional
light is needed, or turned off
altogether.
Setting the Video Light:
1. Press and hold the OPEN HERE
latch and open the LCD monitor.
This reveals the LIGHT OFF/
AUTO/ON switch.
2. Move the switch to the desired
setting.
•
OFF
turns off the light.
•
AUTO
Automatically allows
the camcorder to turn on the
light when there is insufficient
lighting on the subject.
•
ON
keeps the light on at all
times as long as the camcorder
is turned on.
Notes
:
The video light can only be used when the
camcorder is on.
It is recommended that you set the white
balance to artificial light (
) when using
the video light.
When not using the video light, turn it off
to save battery power.
Cautions
Never operate the video light closer
than one foot to people or other
objects.
The video light becomes very hot. Do
not touch it during operating or right
after use. Serious injury may result.
Do not place the camcorder in a
carrying case right after using the
light.
Never operate the video light close to
flammable or explosive material.
