Using the built-in flash

Use the built-in flash in order to record still

pictures in dark places.

≥Set to Tape/Card Recording Mode.

1 Set [ADVANCED] >> [FLASH] >> [ß] or [ßA].

≥If [ßA] is selected, then the flash will

automatically flash as necessary.

2 Press the [PHOTO SHOT] button.

≥The flash is activated and the picture will be

recorded.

≥You cannot use the built-in flash unless the card

is inserted in the Camcorder.

≥The Camcorder, even when its flash has been

turned off, automatically determines if the flash

is necessary by detecting the ambient

brightness. (If it determines that the flash is

necessary, the [ ] indication lights up in

yellow.)

≥When the [ß] ([ßi]/[ßj]) indication or the [ßA]

([ßAi]/[ßAj]) indication is displayed, the flash

can be lit. If the indication is flashing or not

displayed, the flash cannot be lit. You can take a

picture even if the indication is flashing.

≥The available range of the flash is approx. 1 m

to 2.5 m (3.3 feet to 8.2 feet) in a dark place.

Pictures will appear dark or reddish when they

are recorded by using the flash at distances

greater than 2.5 m (8.2 feet ).

≥When set [FLASH] >> [ßA] and the shutter

speed, iris or gain is adjusted, the indication

(either [ßA], [ßAi], or [ßAj]) may disappear

and the flash may not be lit.

≥Using the flash fixes a shutter speed of 1/750 or

faster to 1/500.

≥The picture may become out of focus in a dark

place. If so, adjust the focus manually.

≥The picture may appear dark if flash is lit in front

of a white background.

≥Set the flash to [ ] where using a flash is

prohibited.

≥Do not block the flash by hand or any other

means.

When the flash is not used

Set [ADVANCED] >> [FLASH] >> [ ].

To adjust the brightness of the flash

1 Set [ADVANCED] >> [FLASH LEVEL] >>

select the desired brightness level.

[ßj]: If the brightness is too high ([ßj] or

[ßAj] indication will appear.)

[ßd0]: In normal recording (the [ß] or [ßA]

indication will appear.)

[ßi]: If the brightness is insufficient ([ßi]

or [ßAi] indication will appear.)

Red eye reduction function

Reduces the phenomena where human eyes

become red from flashes.

1 Set [ADVANCED] >> [RED EYE] >> [ON].

≥

The [ ] indication appears.

≥The flash is activated 2 times. Do not move until

the second flash is finished.

≥Use this when you take pictures of people in

dark places.

≥Red eye phenomenon may appear depending

on the recording conditions.

Using the flash VW-FLH3 (optional)

≥The flash permits still picture recording in a dark

place 2.5 m (8.2 feet) or more distant from the

subject. The available range of the flash is

approx. 1 m to 4 m (3.3 feet to 13.1 feet).

≥When the flash is ready, the [ß] indication

appears.

≥The optional flash and the built-in flash cannot

be used simultaneously.

≥The brightness of the flash cannot be adjusted.

≥The shutter speed, iris/gain, and white balance

become fixed.

≥Using the flash outdoors or with backlight or

other bright conditions may result in white

blotches (color blotches) on the pictures. If so,

either adjust the iris manually or use the

backlight compensation function, without using

the flash.

≥Carefully read the operating instructions for the

flash.
