Using the NightShot Light

The picture will be clearer with the NightShot Light on. To enable NightShot Light, set
N.S.LIGHT to ON in the MENU settings (p. 76).
Notes
•Do not use the NightShot function in bright places (ex. outdoors in the daytime). This
may cause your camcorder to malfunction.
•When you keep NIGHTSHOT set to ON in normal recording, the picture may be
recorded in incorrect or unnatural colors.
•If focusing is difficult with the autofocus mode when using the NightShot function,
focus manually.
While using the NightShot function, you can not use the following functions:
– Exposure
– PROGRAM AE
– Fader*
– Digital effect*
* You cannot use these functions only in the NightShot +Slow shutter mode.
