About
the
AF-Assist
lamp:
While you press [PHorQ] halfway, if
the
sur-
roundings
of
the
subject
are
too
dark,
the
mini video light
may
light
up
briefly
in
order
to
enable
the
camcorder
to
focus
more
accurately (AF-
assist lam
p).
- You can also set
r~]
0 [AF-Assist Lamp]
to
[Em
Off]
so
the assist
lamp
is
not
activated (aJ 137).
- The
camcorder
may
not
be
able
to
focus
even if
the
AF-assist
lamp
is
on.
• The practical range
of
the flash is approx. 1
to
2 m (3.3
to
6.6
ft.). The
practical range with the VFL
-2 attached is approx. 1
to
4 m (3.3
to
13.1 ft.).
In
any case,
the
actual range will
depend
on the recording
con-
ditions.
• The range
of
the
flash decreases
in
continuous
shooting
mode.
• For 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
mode
cannot
be
selected
when
the
exposure is locked.
• We
recommend
not
using the flash while
the
optional
Wide-converter
or
Tele-Gonverter
i5
attached;
its
shadow
can
appear
on
the
screen.
