Flash Brightness Adjustment<br />
(GR-DVX707/507 only)<br />
When a snapshot ( pg. 27, 53) is taken in the dark<br />
the camcorder fires the flash and adjusts the<br />
brightness automatically. You can also adjust the<br />
flash brightness manually. When you find that the<br />
snapshots you took look too bright or too dark,<br />
adjust it manually.<br />
1 Select “FLASH ADJ.” in MANUAL Menu, and<br />
press the MENU Wheel in.<br />
● The parameter appears.<br />
2 To intensify the flash, rotate the MENU Wheel<br />
towards “+”. To weaken the flash, rotate the<br />
MENU Wheel towards “–”.<br />
● Adjustment range: –3 to +3.<br />
3 Press the MENU Wheel in. Rotate the MENU<br />
Wheel to select “BRETURN”, and press it twice<br />
to close the Menu Screen.<br />
NOTE:<br />
When you change the subject you are shooting or<br />
the shooting location, set it back to ±0 as described<br />
in step 2 and take a snapshot to check the flash<br />
brightness. After doing this adjust to your desired<br />
brightness.
