PHOTO SHOT ≥The flash is activated and the picture will be recorded. ≥You cannot use the built-in flash unless the card is inserted in the Camcorder. ≥The Camcorder, even when its flash has been turned off, automatically determines if the flash is necessary by detecting the ambient brightness. (If it determines that the flash is necessary, the [ ] indication lights up in yellow.) ≥When the [ß] ([ßi]/[ßj]) indication or the [ßA] ([ßAi]/[ßAj]) indication is displayed, the flash can be lit. If the indication is flashing or not displayed, the flash cannot be lit. You can take a picture even if the indication is flashing. ≥The available range of the flash is approx. 1 meter to 2.5 meters (3 feet to 7.5 feet) in a dark place. Pictures will appear dark or reddish when they are recorded by using the flash at distances greater than 2.5 meters (7.5 feet ). ≥When set [FLASH] >> [ßA] and the shutter speed, iris or gain is adjusted, the indication (either [ßA], [ßAi], or [ßAj]) may disappear and the flash may not be lit. ≥Using the flash fixes the shutter speed of 1/750 s or faster to 1/500. ≥The picture may become out of focus in a dark place. If so, adjust the focus manually.
