For the red-eye reduction to be effective, the subject needs to look at the assist lamp. The degree of reduction depends on the distance and on each individual. The flash will not fire in the following cases: - When you manually adjust the exposure in (auto) or (red-eye reduction) mode. - During auto exposure bracketing. - In the [ FIREWORKS] recording program. The flash mode cannot be selected when the exposure is locked. We recommend not using the flash while the optional Wide-converter is attached; its shadow can appear on the screen. About the AF-Assist Lamp: While you press PHOTO halfway, if the subject is too dark the assist lamp may light up briefly in order to enable the camcorder to focus more accurately (AF-assist lamp). You can also set [AF AST LAMP] to [ OFF] so the assist lamp does not light up. - The camcorder may not be able to focus even if the AF-assist lamp is on. - The brightness of the AF-assist lamp could be an inconvenience. Consider turning it off in public places such as restaurants or theaters. Mini Video Light You can turn on the mini video light (assist lamp) at any time regardless of the recording program.
