(l 36)
≥You may see vertical lines of light in the playback
image of a brightly shining subject or highly
reflective subject.
≥During Normal Playback, transition from one
scene to another may not appear smooth.
≥Because the color and brightness of the playback
image may become unstable, avoid recording
under fluorescent light, mercury light, or sodium
light.

Mode or MagicPix Function, you cannot adjust the
shutter speed. If the shutter speed is adjusted
manually, this setting will be cancelled.

White Balance setting is still kept. This setting will
be kept until White Balance is adjusted again.
≥You may not be able to achieve correct White
Balance adjustment manually under weak
illumination.
ª Using the Built-in Flash
≥The available range of the Flash is approximately 3
to 7.5 feet (1 to 2.5 meters) in a dark place.
Pictures will appear dark when they are recorded
using the Flash at distances greater than 7.5 feet
(2.5 meters).
≥When the [P-IN-P] Button is pressed or Title is
created, Flash is also lit.
≥When the [FLASH] on the [RECORDING SETUP]
Sub-Menu is set to [AUTO] and the Shutter Speed,
Iris or Gain is adjusted, the Indication ([ß], [ßi] or
[ßj] etc.) 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.
≥Using the Flash is not possible during the
Continuous Photoshot recording, the MagicPix
Function and the MPEG4 Recording.
≥The picture may become out of focus in a dark
place. In this case, adjust the focus manually.
≥The Palmcorder, even when its Flash has been
turned off, automatically determines whether the
flash light is necessary or not by detecting the
ambient brightness. (If it determines that the flash
light is necessary, the [ß] Indication is displayed in
yellow.)
≥When the [ß], [ßi] or [ßj] Indication is displayed,
the Flash can be lit. (When flashing, the Flash is
charging.)
≥Charging the Flash takes 4 seconds maximum
after lit.
≥In the following cases, using the Flash is not
possible:
≥MagicPix Function (l 34)
≥RapidFire Consecutive Photoshot (l 54)
≥MPEG4 Recording (l 56)
