Note
≥ When flash recording with a close subject, the
light of the flash will be blocked by the lens and
part of the picture may be dark. Check the
distance from the subject when recording.
≥ When recording on the wide-angle side and using
the flash, the periphery of the screen may darken. In
such cases, we recommend using the external flash.
≥ If you zoom after focusing, focusing errors may occur.
After zooming, please perform the focusing again.
