If white circular spots appear on photos
This is caused by particles (dust, pollen, etc.) floating close to the lens. When they are accentuated by the camcorder’s flash, they appear as white circular spots. To reduce the white circular spots, light the room and shoot the subject without a flash.
Notes
-
The recommended distance to the subject when using the built-in flash is approximately 0.3 m to 2.5 m (1 foot to 8 feet).
-
Remove any dust from the surface of the flash before using it. The heat of flash emission may cause dirt on the flash surface to emit smoke or to scorch the surface. If dirt or dust adhere to the surface of the flash use a soft cloth to clean it.
-
The flash does not flash while the
(Movie) mode is selected.
