Basic

In dark places, the AF assist lamp (P91) may turn on to focus on the subject.

•Even when the focus indication appears and the subject is focused, it is canceled if you release the shutter button. Press the shutter button halfway again.

•Please do not rotate the zoom ring during auto focus.

w Preventing jitter (camera shake)

•Be careful of jittering when pressing the shutter button.

•When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using a tripod. Also, be careful how you hold the camera (P34). Using the self-timer (P51) or the shutter remote control (DMW-RSL1; optional) (P120) prevents jittering caused by pressing the shutter button when you are using a tripod.

•Shutter speed will be slower particularly in the following cases. Keep the camera still from the moment the shutter button is pressed until the picture appears on the screen. We recommend using a tripod.

–Slow sync./Red-eye reduction (P47)

–[NIGHT PORTRAIT] (P66)

–[NIGHT SCENERY] (P66)

–[PARTY] (P67)

–[CANDLE LIGHT] (P68)

–[FIREWORKS] (P68)

–[STARRY SKY] (P68)

–When you set to a slow shutter speed (P57, 58)

wExposure

•If you press the shutter button halfway when the exposure is not adequate, the

aperture value and the shutter speed turn red. (They do not turn red when the flash is activated.)

•The brightness of the screen may differ from the brightness of the recorded pictures especially when recording in low light conditions.

•When most of the subjects on the screen are bright (e.g. a blue sky on a clear day, a snowy field etc.), the recorded pictures may become dark. In this case, compensate the exposure value on the camera. (P52)

w Concerning the [FOCUS/AE LOCK] button

•In situations where the subject is outside the AF area or the subject contrast is too strong to compensate the exposure, for instance, this button makes it possible to take pictures using the focus and exposure that you fixed ahead of time.
