•Be sure of the following points when the
AF assist lamp is in use.
–Do not look into the AF assist lamp.
–Do not cover the AF assist lamp with
your fingers or other objects.
•In simple mode [ ], the setting on the
[AF ASSIST LAMP] is fixed to [ON].
•You cannot use the AF assist lamp in
[SCENERY], [NIGHT SCENERY],
[FIREWORKS] and [SELF PORTRAIT] in
scene mode. (P54)
•When you do not want to use the AF
assist lamp (e.g. when you take a picture
of a subject in a dark place), set the [AF
ASSIST LAMP] to [OFF]. In this case, it
becomes difficult to focus on the subject.
•When the AF as sist lamp is turned on, an
AF area with a size wider than usual
normal AF area is indicated and the area
is set only to a point on the center of the
screen. (P68)
The shutter speed can be automatically
adjusted. However, if you want brighter
pictures, you can manually select a slower
shutter speed. This is especially effective if
you want to take pictures where both the
night landscape and the subject are bright,
using [NIGHT PORTRAIT] in scene mode
(P54).
The slow shutter speed values you can
select are: [1/8– ], [1/4– ], [1/2 –] and [1 –].
∫Example
•Usually, set to [1/8–] to take pictures.
(When you select slow shutter speed
values other than [1/8– ], [ ] appears
on the lower left of the LCD monitor.)
•When the shutter speed is made slower
using [SLOW SHUTTER], jitter is likely to
occur. We recommend using a tripod and
the self-timer (P40) for taking pictures.
•You cannot set the slow shutter in
[NIGHT SCENERY] and [FIREWORKS] in
scene mode. (P54)
