pYou cannot use the built-in flash unless the card
is inserted in the Camcorder.
pThe Camcorder, even when its flash has been

is necessary by detecting the ambient
brightness. (If it determines that the flash is
necessary, the [ ] indication lights up in
yellow.)
pWhen the [`] ([`K]/[`L]) indication or the [`A]
([`AK]/[`AL]) indication is displayed, the flash
can be lit. If the indication is flashing or not
displayed, the flash cannot be lit.
pThe available range of the flash is approx. 3 to
7.5 feet (1 to 2.5 m) in a dark place. Pictures will
appear dark or reddish when they are recorded
by using the flash at distances greater than
7.5 feet (2.5 m).
pWhen set [FLASH] >> [`A] and the shutter
speed, iris or gain is adjusted, the indication
(either [`A], [`AK], or [`AL]) may disappear
and the flash may not be lighted.
pUsing the flash fixes the shutter speed of
1/750 s or faster to 1/500.
pThe picture may become out of focus in a dark
place. If so, adjust the focus manually.
pThe picture may appear dark if flash is lit in front
of a white background.

either adjust the iris manually or use the
backlight compensation function, without using
the flash.
