Recording

[AF ASSIST LAMP]

AF assist lamp will illuminate the subject when the shutter button is pressed half-way making it easier for the camera to focus when recording in low light conditions. (Larger AF area is displayed depending on the recording conditions.)

[OFF]/[ON]

•The effective range of the AF Assist Lamp is different depending on used lens.

–When the interchangeable lens (H-PS14042, H-FS014042) is attached and at Wide: Approx. 1.0 m (3.29 feet) to 3.0 m (9.85 feet)

–When the interchangeable lens (H-H014) is attached: Approx. 1.0 m (3.29 feet) to 3.5 m (11.5 feet)

•The AF Assist Lamp is valid only for the subject in the center of the screen. Use it by positioning the subject in the center of the screen.

•Remove the lens hood.

•When you do not want to use the AF Assist Lamp (e.g. when taking pictures of animals in dark places), set the [AF ASSIST LAMP] to [OFF]. In this case, it will become more difficult to focus on the subject.

•The AF Assist Lamp gets slightly blocked when the interchangeable lens (H-PS14042, H-FS014042) is used, but it does not affect the performance.

•The AF Assist Lamp may be greatly blocked, and it may become harder to focus when a lens with large diameter is used.

•The setting for the [AF ASSIST LAMP] is fixed to [OFF] in [SCENERY], [ARCHITECTURE], [NIGHT SCENERY] and [SUNSET] in Scene Mode.
