Notes
• You cannot use [Flash Compensation] with the following functions:
– [Hand-held Twilight]
– [Anti Motion Blur]
– when no flash is attached
– Movie recording
• The higher flash effect may not be visible due to the limited amount of flash light available, if the subject
is outside the maximum range of the flash. If the subject is very close, the lower flash effect may not be
visible.
Tips to adjust the brightness when shooting people
z
• It is important to balance the brightness of people against
the dark background in night portraits. You can adjust the
brightness of people near the camcorder by changing the
flash light intensity.
• If the subject is too far to flash and still too dark after
adjustment, move closer to your subject.
