Snapshot Flash (Auto Flash)

In Full Auto or Manual mode, when “FLASH” is set to
“AUTO” or “AUTO

” in the Mode Menu, the flash

automatically fires if it’s dark ( appears) when a snapshot
is taken in Record-Standby.
By setting “FLASH” to “ON” or “OFF” in the Mode Menu,
the flash can be activated or deactivated on demand.
To reduce the Red-Eye effect in the subject’s eyes, it is
recommended that you set “FLASH” to “AUTO

”. The

flash automatically fires using this function when it is dark.

NOTES:

● Do not fire the flash at a person at short range.

● In Multi-Analyser 4 or Multi-Analyser 9, the flash is disabled (

pg. 23, 31).

● The flash does not fire when the flash is set to “OFF” on the Mode Menu and also when the battery remaining

power is low. Moreover, the flash does not fire when it is set to “AUTO” on the Mode Menu with GAIN UP set to
“OFF” (

pg. 37) and with Programme AE with special effects set to “TWILIGHT” (

pg. 45).

● When taking several snapshots in succession (Motor Drive Mode), the flash fires only during the first one.

● Although images shot with a flash tend to look whiter than they actually are, to compensate for this the camcorder

automatically darkens the picture when using the flash. When shooting a subject at a distance where the flash light
cannot reach (over approx. 2 m), set the flash to “OFF” to prevent the picture from becoming too dark.

● The colour tone changes depending on the background lighting conditions, such as under fluorescent or halogen

lamps.

● When you want to change the brightness of the flash, refer to “Flash Brightness Adjustment” (

pg. 33).

● While charging the flash, blinks and the flash will not fire. Although noise may appear, this is not a malfunction

and is not recorded. It can take up to ten seconds to charge the flash.
