Notes:
• The subject should be within 4.9 feet (1.5 meters)
of the Camcorder.
• Using the LED Video Light reduces battery time.
• Set the LED Video Light to off when not in use.
• Do not look directly into the light.
• If the LED Video light is used with a Conversion
lens attached, a slight vignetting (darkening around
edges) effect occurs on the screen.
• Using the MagicPix Function at the same time will
make conditions even brighter.
• The LED video light enables simply lightening
the images taken in a dimly-lit place. We also
recommend using it in a bright place to obtain high
quality images.
