function will be activated, and makes it possible to shoot
the subject brighter.

There is a difference in the brightness of the images shot
between the centre area which is illuminated by the LED
Light and the surrounding areas (which will be darker).
●
Since subjects are shot at a reduced shutter speed when
the LED Light setting is “ON”, they will appear slightly
blurred.
Once the camcorder is set, the camcorder operator can
become part of the scene in a more natural way, adding
the final touch to a memorable picture.
