Flash Brightness Adjustment
When a snapshot ( pg. 23, 42) is taken in the dark the camcorder fires the flash and adjusts the brightness automatically. You can also adjust the flash brightness manually. When you find that the snapshots you took look too bright or too dark, adjust it manually.

The flash can be used when a snapshot is taken in Record-Standby mode. ( pg. 23, 42) � When the Power Switch is set to �A�, the flash automatically pops up and fires if it is dark ( appears). � When the Power Switch is set to �M�, you can select the flash setting. ( pg. 31, 37) If �AUTO C� is selected... The C Red-Eye reduction indicator lights. Press SNAPSHOT. The flash fires twice. The first flash is for reduction of the human eye�s red reflection and the second flash is for the actual recording. After shooting... Be sure to close the flash by pressing it softly until it locks. NOTES: � Do not fire the flash at a person at short range. � When the optional video light is attached, it is not possible to use the built-in flash. � The flash does not fire when the flash is set to �OFF� or when Night-Scope mode ( pg. 42) is engaged, and also when the battery remaining power is low. � Although images shot with a flash tend to look whiter than they actually are, to compensate for this the camcorder automatically darkens the picture when using the flash. When shooting a subject at a distance where the flash light cannot reach (over approx. 2 m), set the flash to �OFF� to prevent the picture from becoming too dark or becoming too tinted. � The colour tone changes depending on the background lighting conditions, such as under fluorescent or halogen lamps. � While charging the flash, blinks and the flash will not fire. Although noise may appear, this is not a malfunction and is not recorded. It can take up to 10 seconds to charge the flash. � Do not open the flash unit manually or apply an unreasonable amount of pressure to it. Doing so may cause its position to be changed, making it impossible to shoot with the correct brightness.

Select �FLASH ADJ.� in MANUAL Menu, and press the MENU Wheel in. � The parameter appears. To intensify the flash, rotate the MENU Wheel towards �+�. To weaken the flash, rotate the MENU Wheel towards ���. � Adjustment range: �3 to +3. Press the MENU Wheel in. Rotate the MENU Wheel to select �BRETURN�, and press it twice to close the Menu Screen.

NOTE: When you change the subject you are shooting or the shooting location, set it back to ±0 as described in step 2 and take a snapshot to check the flash brightness. After doing this adjust to your desired brightness.
