Focus Assist Light

Sometimes in low-light situations, the camera will use the red focus assist light on the front of the camera to aid in focusing. This setting allows you to turn off this light (for example, when you do not want the focus assist light to distract the subject of your picture).

The default Focus Assist Light setting is Auto.

1.In the Setup Menu (page 121), select Focus Assist Light.

2.In the Focus Assist Light sub- menu, highlight a setting.

3.Press the button to save the setting and return to the Setup Menu.

NOTE: HP recommends leaving this setting at Auto, since turning it off hinders the ability of the camera to focus correctly in low light.

The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again, even when you turn the camera off.
