To
USE THE OPTIONAL VFL·1 VIDEO FLASH LIGHT
You can attach the optional VFL-1 Video
Flash Light to the advanced accessory
shoe if you want a more powerful flash
than the built-in flash. The procedure for
setting the flash mode is the same as
described above. For details about
attaching and using the flash, refer to the
instruction manual of the VFL-1. The
VFL-1 can also be used as a video light.
When a video accessory is attached to
the advanced accessory shoe,
01$"
will
appear on the screen.
• The practical range of the built-in flash is
approx. 1 to 2 m (3.3 to 6.6
ft.).
The practical
range with the VFL-1 Video Flash Light
attached is approx. 1 to 4 m (3.3 to 13.1
ft.).
In
any case, the actual range will depend on the
recording conditions.
• The range of the flash decreases in
continuous shooting mode.
• For the red-eye reduction function 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 ~A
(auto) or
@
(red-eye reduction) mode.
- During auto exposure bracketing.
• The flash mode cannot be selected when the
exposure is locked.
• We do not recommend using the flash when
the optional Wide-converter or Tele-converter is
attached; its shadow can appear on the screen.
• About the AF·Assist Lamp: While you press
!PHOTOj
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
[1m
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.
