REC Mode/Recording Techniques
- Q10
- What is the difference between the Auto and On LED light settings?
- A10
- The camera's initial factory default LED light setting is Off. You can change the setting as desired.
Auto : The LED light fires automatically when the shutter button is half-pressed to focus and/or full-pressed to shoot under dark shooting conditions.
On : LED always lights when shooting.
NOTE
• Take care to keep the camera still when shooting.
• The LED light may not make it to far-away subjects.
The brightness of the LED light is the same for Auto and On.
• Take care to avoid long-term continued exposure of eyes to light.
Long-term exposure creates the risk of loss of eyesight.
• Do not turn on the LED light near a person’s eyes and do not allow anyone to look directly into the light.
Doing so creates the risk of loss of eyesight.
• Do not allow the light to shine in the eyes of anyone operating a motor vehicle, etc.
Light can interfere with the driver’s vision and create the risk of accident.
• When the LED light operates, the camera automatically adjusts white balance to match the LED light.
Because of this, the white balance level may not be appropriate for subjects not reached by the light or for outdoor subjects.
• Since the camera is equipped with a wide-angle lens, the center tends to be brighter while the periphery tends to be darker.
