RECORDING DARK SUBJECTS USING LCD MONITOR LIGHT

When Program AE is set to Low Light, you can use the light from LCD monitor to record a subject.

1 Press the MENU button, and choose “Program AE” from the “Camera Functions Setup” menu.

2 Choose “Low Light”, and designate it.

3 Press the MENU button to end the setting.

4 Open the LCD monitor, turn it 180º so that it faces the same direction as the lens: The LCD monitor will light white.

Note:

Use the viewfinder to check the image to be recorded.

The LCD monitor light allows you to record a subject up to 3.2 feet (1 m) even in a dark place.

An after-image will appear when filming a moving subject or if camera shake occurs (it is recommended that you use a tripod).

If a subject cannot be focused properly, manually adjust the focus (see page 53).
