Notes
•
When [ISO] is set to [AUTO] in the menu settings (page 49), the recommended shooting
distance is 0.3 to 2.5 m (11 7/8 inches to 8 1/3 feet) (MVC-CD200) or 0.3 to 3.0 m (11 7/8
inches to 9 feet 10 1/8 inches) (MVC-CD300). When it is not set to [AUTO], the flash may be
ineffective even if the flash level is changed.
•
Attaching a conversion lens (optional) may block the light from the flash and the recorded
image may be eclipsed.
•
You cannot use the built-in flash and an external strobe (optional) at the same time.
•
The RED EYE REDUCTION function may not produce the desired red-eye reduction effects
depending on individual differences, the distance to the subject, if the subject does not see the
pre-strobe, or other conditions.
•
Red-eye reduction effects are also difficult to obtain if you select a slow shutter speed in shutter
speed priority mode.
•
The flash effect is not obtained easily when you use forced flash in a bright location.
•
While charging the flash, the
/CHG lamp flashes. After the charging is complete, the lamp
goes out.
•
The flash does not function when recording moving images or recording in EXP BRKTG or
BURST mode (MVC-CD300 only) (pages 59, 63).
The AF illuminator is fill light to focus on a subject easily under dark conditions. Set
[AF ILLUMINATOR] to [ON] in the setup settings,
appears on the LCD screen
and the AF illuminator emits light when the shutter button is pressed halfway under
dark situations. It keeps emitting light until the focus is locked.
Notes
•
If AF illuminator light does not reach the subject sufficiently or the subject has no contrast,
focus will not be achieved. Approximate 0.3 to 3.0 m (11 7/8 inches to 9 feet 10 1/8 inches)
distance is recommended.
•
In TWILIGHT mode of the SCENE SELECTION function (page 58), the AF illuminator will
emit only when the flash mode is set to
(Forced flash).
•
The AF illuminator will not emit when the LANDSCAPE mode of the SCENE SELECTION
function (page 58) is selected or [CONVERSION LENS] is set to [ON] in the setup settings
(page 85). ([CONVERSION LENS] is only for MVC-CD300.)
•
Focus is achieved as long as AF illuminator light reaches the subject even if its light is slightly
out of the middle position of the subject.
•
AF illuminator light is safe for persons. However, do not use the AF illuminator with its light
emitted directly to person eyes at point-blank range as its light is very strong.
