When using the flash band compensation function
The flash band compensation function works whenever the brightness in the lower part of the screen changes greatly, irrespective of the presence of flashes. For example, the flash band compensation function may operate under some recording environments, such as when zooming in or out on a bright window. It is recommended to use the function in recording environments where flashes are anticipated.
Note that due to the recording environment, even when there are flashes, you may not get sufficient results from the flash band compensation function.
