Notes •Attaching the lens hood (supplied) or a conversion lens (optional) may block the light from the flash or cause lens shadow to appear. •You cannot use an external flash (optional) and the built-in flash at the same time. • (auto red-eye reduction) may not produce the desired effect depending on individual differences, the distance to the subject, the subject not looking at the prerecording flash or other conditions. •The flash effect cannot be obtained easily when you use forced flash in a bright location. •When you record images with the flash, sound may not be recorded clearly. •When recording with the flash, it takes longer to prepare for image capture. This is because your camcorder starts to charge power for firing after the flash pops up. Darken the surroundings by covering the lens part, and press PHOTO lightly so that your camcorder starts to charge power after the flash pops up. •If it is not easy to focus on the subject automatically, for example, when recording in the dark, use the focal distance information (p. 53) for focusing manually. 37
