Notes
• The built-in video light emits very bright light,
which is perfectly safe in normal use. However,
avoid directly aiming the light at a subject’s eyes
from very close range.
• The battery pack discharges quickly while the built-
in light is turned on.
• When you do not use your camcorder, turn the built-
in light off and remove the battery pack to avoid
turning on the built-in light accidentally.
• When flickering occurs while shooting in the
mode, press LIGHT until
appears.
• The built-in light may turn on/off when you use the
[PROGRAM AE] or back light function while
shooting in the
mode.
• For TRV260/265:
The built-in light is turned off during the interval
time of Interval recording.
• When you use the conversion lens (optional), light
from the built-in light is blocked and may not
illuminate the subject properly.
Recording in mirror mode
You can turn the LCD panel towards the
subject so that you and your subject can share
the image being recorded. You can also
utilize this function when recording yourself,
to keep the attention of small children
attracted to the camcorder while you record
them.
Open the LCD panel 90 degrees to the
camcorder, then rotate it 180 degrees
towards the subject.
A mirror-image of the subject appears on the
LCD screen, but the picture will be normal
when recorded.
