❍ About the AF-Assist Lamp: When recording still images with flash, the AF-assist lamp (white LED) lights up responding to the brightness of the subject to enable the camcorder to focus more accurately. The AF-assist lamp lights up when you focus manually while E the PHOTO button is pressed halfway and turns off after a short time. - The camcorder may not be able to focus even though the AF-assist lamp is lighting. - The AF-assist lamp lights up brightly. Consider turning off the AF-assist lamp in public places such as in restaurants or theaters. - Turn off the AF-assist lamp in places where flash photography is prohibited. Using the Optional VFL-1 Video Flash Light You can also use the optional VFL-1 Video Flash Light with stronger flash. The procedure for selecting the flash mode is the same as for the built-in flash. For instructions on connection and use, refer to the instruction manual of the VFL-1. ❍ The practical range of the flash is approx. 3.3 to 14.8 ft. (1 to 4.5 m). The range depends upon the recording condition. ❍ The built-in flash does not fire when the POWER switch of the VFL-1 is set to a position other than OFF. ❍ In (red-eye reduction, auto), the VFL-1 fires a pre-flash for red-eye reduction. For the red-eye reduction mode to be effective, the subject needs to look at the flash. Using a Memory Card 103
